Thank you for your LOVE of DANCE!
NEWSFLASH:
December 1, 2022
Happy Autumn to all of you precious people who LOVE Dance!
This is a month when having a heart full of Thanksgiving is front and center.
We sure are thankful for YOU!
We are ready to embrace our 45th Season - yep our 45th Season - and although we are missing some States in 2023 where we have always held Competitions in the past, we do have some great cities (a couple new ones too!) planned for the new year.
Our motto 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 to make their competition experience one that their 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 - 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.
You may be confident that our common sense approach has always been in place, with your safety as our priority. 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 confirmed and 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 wish us to be and especially disappointed that Spring dates in CA, NV, IA, IL, FL 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 a priority 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 and our online registration is also up and ready. We are expecting several Cities to be “sold out” and to register completely full far in advance of the deadline - so please register early.
Kim loves getting emails at kim@ilovedance.com and you may certainly call our office!
We wish you a holiday that is merry and bright and full of peace and happiness. In the words of Nat King Cole, “Although it’s been said many times, many way, Merry Christmas to YOU.”
