Cyd Charisse and Gene Kelly

I was trying to find an interview with a dancer who was talking about what inspired him or her and goals and such things, but instead I decided to post a video with a dancer legend. Actually two. In a movie that was … legendary. So enjoy

Fashion Tights for Little Girls

Sometimes we get in things that really have nothing to do with dance whatsoever, but they are so cute that we just can’t pass them up. This month we brought in a variety of fashion tights in a little girl’s size 4-6. They’re cute. They’re warm. They’re perfect for this time of year, and they are only $10.

What is Your Dance Goal?

Keep reading for your chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate!

It’s that time of year when people think about making resolutions for the New Year. Auditions are starting for this year’s summer programs. People are getting ready for the competition seasons. I love this time of year because it’s another beginning. So, I want to know, in terms of dance, what are your plans for the year? What are your goals? It could be as simple as going to a dance class regularly once a week, or it could be winning first place in a competition or getting accepted to the Summer Program of your choice.
Post your response there as a comment, and you will be entered to win a drawing for a $25 gift certificate.
I’ll start first (except I won’t enter myself in the drawing). This year my goal is to create and upload a series of 10 short instructional bellydance videos on YouTube.
Ok, your turn!


Merlet/Sheddo Sample Sale 1/10/09

These days it’s popular to talk about how bad the economy is. I personally prefer to look on the bright side. There are always opportunities, and this Saturday, 1/10, you have an opportunity to take advantage of the Merlet/Sheddo sample sale. Sheddo is a fashion-forward line from France, featuring beautiful and comfortable activewear that crosses over to the street. While very popular in France, Sheddo is new to our shores.
So why are we having this sale? The fact is that stores all around the country are feeling hesitant to invest in seasonal
or fashion lines because they are riskier than basics. In the meantime, we have this sample collection at our store. We could just return it to Merlet, but they would just like to get their products out into the public, and so they have allowed us to offer their pieces at below wholesale cost. While most of the Sheddo collection retails for $30-80, we will be selling the stock we have onhand at $20 a piece! But supplies are limited, so hurry in on Saturday for the best selection!
I don’t see another opportunity like this coming up anytime soon, so don’t miss it!


Happy New Year!

The only constant is change, right? Here’s to a year with a lot of positive change!
