Thank you for your LOVE of DANCE!
NEWSFLASH:
March 1, 2023
Happy, month of MARCH - and the start of - SPRING - to all of you precious people who LOVE Dance!
We are really ready for Spring as we embrace our 45th Season - yep our 45th Season - with Competitions in some great cities (a couple new ones too!) for you in 2023.
Our motto for this Season remains — “We will Rise and Dance again.”
We always hope that I LOVE DANCE will be your Competition of choice and we work hard to be the organized and enjoyable event you deserve.
We are so grateful to the fabulous Dance Schools who joined us this past season and we will certainly welcome you back with open arms (and hearts). We are excited to also welcome Dance Studios who may be new to I LOVE DANCE and promise a Competition experience that both Students and their Parents will LOVE.
Our events are a real reflection of the love you feel for Dance and for your Dancers. The I LOVE DANCE Family (and YOU and your families too) will continue to get through these uncertain times that reshape and continue to change every aspect of our lives.
We shall dance through it all.
Kim McKimmie is so appreciative of your support and she is dedicated to being at your service producing our future events with respect and integrity. She personally looks forward to seeing YOU this season.
You may be confident that we’ve always had a common sense approach, with your safety at the top of our agenda. We assure you that ALL of our Dance Studio Owners, Directors, Dance Teachers, ILD Staff, ILD Judges and ALL of our participants and their families are always in our thoughts and in our hearts and prayers for their ongoing good health and success.
Again, our 2023 Season is now underway!
We are grateful for Studios who we know are planning to travel a bit further to join us. We are sincerely so very sorry that we are not everywhere our loyal clients want us to be this year and are especially disappointed that Spring dates in CA, NV, IA, IL, and FL States were unable to be booked.
We are proud to have stayed ON OUR FEET these past few years - and we are so very proud of ALL of YOU for keeping the LOVE of DANCE essential in your lives.
Our 2023 cities (chronologically) include; Portland OR, Tulsa OK, Allentown PA, Houston TX, Springfield MO, Dallas TX, Billings MT, Bay City MI and Buffalo NY with the Hotels ready for your reservations. We are expecting several Cities to be “sold out” and to be registered completely full far in advance of the deadline - so please register early.
Kim personally answers her emails at kim@ilovedance.com and you may certainly call our office during the weekdays.
Please do not delay in submitting your registration this month. We are now upon many April entry deadlines and our May events are both very close to being “sold out” already!
Wishing you and yours good health, love and prosperity this month, as the year progresses. We are dedicated to making our 2023 shows all have a festive spirit as we celebrate how the LOVE of DANCE has “marched” onward for us - for 45 seasons.
