FUNDRAISER REMINDER!!
From Rachel:
Fundraiser packets are due back by Wednesday, Dec.10th. Please give to Mandy Shaw, Rachel LaFon, or the current receptionist at the time you are at the studio.

Most fundraiser packets went out with two order forms (totaling 14 orders). PLEASE don't limit yourselves to 14 orders! If you gather up more than 14 orders, just write it down on your own spreadsheet. Some last minute packets went out with only 1 order form (totaling 7 orders). If you need regular order forms please contact me. OR you can write them down on your own spreadsheet. Don't worry if your fundraiser information doesn't come with an envelope! You can put it in an envelope, if you choose to. It might make it easier to keep all the money/checks in one place.

DON'T LIMIT YOURSELVES TO THE NUMBER OF SPACES ON YOUR ORDER FORMS! Just a little math for ya...
If every girl/boy at Infinity Dance that is participating in this fundraiser sells an average of $50 to 14 customers, that would be a TOTAL of $13,125 raised for costumes, fees, etc! THAT IS FANTASTIC!

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions/concerns.

Our competition information is now available on the Web site, including required shoes and tights for each dance, and accessories for each team. Competition dates and costs are also included. Fliers listing all this information are available on the Web site.

For competitions and costs, click here:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Also, here is an important note from Rachel who is our Scentsy representative.

The fundraiser packet was simplified to only offer certain warmers and smells so that it wouldn't be overwhelming to the new Scentsy buyer. However, if a customer has their heart set on a warmer, plug in, or smell that isn't in the fundraising catalog, but is in the normal catalog, then they can absolutely order it! They will just have to make a note of it either on the fundraising order form, or on a separate spread sheet.

ALSO, lots of girls will have family/friends from out of state supporting their fundraiser. We encourage this! However, they need to be charged the correct amount for tax in their city where they reside (the family member), and they will have to pay 10% shipping since the product will be shipped to them separately. So for example, if they live in Aurora, CO, the tax rate is 8.1%. So if they order $50 worth of product, they'll have to pay 8.1% tax on the $50 and then $5 (10%) for shipping.
Please call me with questions.
Thanks!

Evergreens! Very important....

Hello all,

We are $800 shy of our goal in the Evergreens Fundraiser Service Project, and we are asking again that EACH dancer please contribute a minimum of $5 to this very important cause. This money will be going to decorate a “dance tree” that will be auctioned off. Please consider that $5 is the cost of a trip to Subway, and if each girl makes a small sacrifice, the outcome will be tremendous. ALL the money from the Evergreens Fundraiser goes to the Safe Harbor Crisis Center, the domestic violence shelter in Davis County. This shelter is almost always filled to capacity, with women and children escaping mortal danger from domestic violence.

Mandy feels very strongly about this cause, and is asking for your support. If you have questions, feel free to email me at natalie@infinitydance.org.

Halloween Bash

Just a reminder that tomorrow night, October 24, we will be having a Halloween Bash at both studios. Fun, food and games for your whole family! We hope to see you all there, in costume of course.

The time is 7 p.m.

Kevin Maher and Lee Daniel

Hello all,

We are excited to have Kevin Maher here this Saturday, October 25, to work with the girls who made his routine. Please remember that practice starts promptly at nine a.m. You need to bring the $150 choreography fee to the practice. And we will dance until the routine is finished.

A little bit about Kevin:

Kevin Maher was born and raised in West Covina, California. He graduated from Don Bosco Technical Institute where he studied in architecture and design. At the age of 19, Kevin moved to New York City where began training at Broadway Dance Center. He further trained with "Culture Shock N.Y." (a non profit hip-hop company) and "La Santa Luz" (founded by "Drown World's" Anthony Rodriguez). He landed his first gig with Michael Rooney and Fatboy Slim for the MTV VMAs. Since then Kevin has appeared in such film and television shows as the Grammys, American Music Awards, TRL, 106th & Park, Good Morning America, MTV VMAs, Regis & Kelly, SNL, Dr. Pepper commercials and "You Got Served." He has since performed with such artists as Nelly Furtado, Missy Elliot, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Omarion, Paulina Rubio, Eve, Whitney Houston, MYA, Alicia Keys, and more. Recent choreography projects include a Kelis music video, the feature film "Bring It On, All or Nothing", Natalie & Frankie J, promo, Machi music video, Jolin music video, Mariah Carey promo & world tour, Basement Jaxx music video and George Michael music video. Kevin currently resides in North Hollywood, California where he teaches hip-hop/jazz/funk at the Edge Performing Arts Center and Debbie Reynolds Dance Studio. He can also be found touring the U.S. with NYCDA and Monsters of Hip-Hop.




Kevin will be bringing Lee Daniel with him.



A Chicago native, Lee has been dancing all his life, but it wasn't until he attended the University of Illinois and joined a small hip-hop dance team(Dance2XS) that he became serious about his craft. Much of his training is from Dance2XS founder, Patrick Chen, who has traveled the world teaching as well as working with such artists as Misteeq, Mariah Carey, Asia Idol, appearing in the hit films Matrix 2 & 3 and many more. Some other training would definitely include the Monsters of Hip Hop convention where Lee was chosen to be a part of the show "Roadtrip" which is choreographed by the industries elite; Tabitha and Napoleon, Marty Kudelka, Rhapsody, Chonique and Lisette, and Brian Friedman to name a few.He co-directed the International Hip-Hop company Dance2XS. He has taught at the top studios in Chicago, New York, London, Italy, Portugal, and Estonia to name a few. His choreography has been featured in Dance Chicago for the past 3 years. He has also choreographed for upcoming artist Raphael Smith. He loves to dance and share his passion through instruction with hopes to inspire others to be the best dancer they can be. Lee teaches regularly at Debbie Reynolds in Los Angeles.

Christmas Service Project

Hello Parents,

This week we are sending home notes (with an envelope) for a very important Christmas Service Project. We are going to decorate a tree, with a dance theme, to donate to the Evergreens Fundraiser. All money raised from this event goes to support Safe Harbor Crisis Center, the domestic violence shelter in Davis County.

Did you know that up to 50 percent of homeless women and children in America are victims of domestic violence?

You can view the flier here, as well as the one that will come home. We are asking for a donation of a minimum of $5 per dancer. Money is due by Monday, October 20.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at: natalie@infinitydance.org.

Let's make someone else's Christmas a little brighter, and support this very important event.

Ballroom Update

I sent out a note about ballroom for Carrie, and then we realized it did not specify WHICH studio it was for. The note that went out originally was for Ogden students only.

Brigham students will also be working the same weekend as Ogden students, but instead of working the 22nd they will work the 21st.

November 21
Brigham Schedule:
Sr. Ballroom will be required to be there from 3:30-6:30p.m. and Jr. Ballroom will meet from 6:30p.m.-9:00p.m.

November 22
Ogden Schedule:
The Senior group will meet from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the Junior group will meet from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Carrie will be placing a shoe order next week, so she needs to collect the $70.00 from each student as soon as possible so that can be taken care of. If you are writing a check, please make it out to Carrie Spendlove, not Infinity Dance.

From Carrie: "While I am so excited about the big groups we have this year, it does make it hard to progress as much as I would like to from week to week. I will be flying in an assistant from California to help me set the choreography on the students. I am asking that each student bring $15 to help pay for the 9 hours of guest choreography and assistance. Please email me with any questions.

I am so excited for our competition season! Your kids are so talented and it has been a pleasure working with them.

Also, I would like to add for ALL students at both studios, that I have had several questions regarding costumes and performances. There will be a $70 costume fee (the standard studio costume fee) and they will be competing in 3 competitions as well as the Spring recital."

Hip Hop Audition for Kevin Maher's dance

Hello all,

We realize that those of you with dancers on Senior Funk are waiting to hear who will be in the hip hop piece that will be choreographed by Kevin Maher.

Because this piece involves both studios, it is taking some time to make the final decision, but as soon as the decision is made, we will post it here on the blog. Thanks for your patience!

While I am so excited about the big groups we have this year, it does make it hard to progress as much as I would like to from week to week. I will be flying in an assistant from California to help me set the choreography on the students. I am asking that each student bring $15 to help pay for the 9 hours of guest choreography and assistance.

Exciting News about Dance Fever!

We are thrilled to announce that Mandy Moore will be teaching at Dance Fever!

Mandy Moore is an emerging choreographer and performer whose work has been seen on television, in film and on the concert stage. Moore was one of the choreographers for Celine Dion's "Taking Chances" world tour.

Tyce Diorio has been performing on television since age 17 when he won the "Star Search" setting a record with a perfect 4-star rating each week, the first time it had happened on the series. Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Diorio attended New York City's famed High School of the Performing Arts and following that moved to Los Angeles and met up with Paula Abdul to dance on her "Under My Spell" world tour as well as in her videos, commercials and award show appearances.

Janet Jackson, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Mya, *NSYNC, Kelly Osbourne, Céline Dion and Toni Braxton are just a few of the artists Diorio has traveled the world with and performed with onstage. Diorio has worked on numerous feature films including the cult classic "Showgirls," "Starsky and Hutch," "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," "Robin Hood: Men in Tights," "13 Going on 30," "Flintstones Viva Rock Vegas" and "Epic Movie." In addition to three seasons on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, his television credits include "That '70s Show," "The Tyra Banks Show," "The Academy Awards," "The American Music Awards," "The Billboard Music Awards," "Fame" as well as "Annie" and "Cinderella" directed by Rob Marshall.

Quebec's Jean Marc Généreux began dancing at age 9 in 1972 and has been with his wife and partner France Mousseau since 1977. The two have trained with the best coaches in Canada, America and England and competed as amateurs for 10 years, winning all of the major titles. They turned professional in 1986, and for 12 years they traveled all over the world representing Canada and winning many major titles. Généreux and Mousseau won the prestigious British National Dance Competition in Blackpool, England, and the Ohio Star Ball in the Open Latin Championship, the most prestigious dance competition televised across North America.

They competed in more than 15 world championships and world-class competitions in more then 25 countries, the two ranked among the 10 best Latin couples, finishing third at the World Ten Dance Championship (winning first in the Latin section).

Généreux and Mousseau retired from the competitive scene in 1998; however, the two still travel all over the world to perform in dance shows, as well as judge and choreograph for the elite competitors. Since 1976, they have made over 100 television appearances in Canada, the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia. Généreaux and Mousseau also performed in the motion picture "Dance With Me" featuring Vanessa L. Williams and Chayanne and the motion picture "Shall We Dance" with Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere. In 2006, Genereux joined the cast of the American version of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE as a choreographer. Married since August 1987, they are the parents of two children Jean-Francis and Francesca. Genereux lives in Quebec, Canada.

Dave Scott danced his way "straight outta Compton" into a career in dance, choreography, and artist development encompassing music, film, television, and commercials. He began his career working with top recording artists such as B2K, Tyrese, Ginuwine, Brian McKnight, Bow Wow and Olympic Gold medalist, Tara Lipinski. Dave has gone on to choreograph some of the biggest blockbuster dance films in recent history such as You Got Served, Stomp The Yard, and Step Up 2. Currently he is choreographing Snowflake for the Wayans Bros. In addition, he created his own instructional DVD, Take It To The Floor, featuring his own unique brand of dance.

A self-taught dancer who cites Michael Jackson as his biggest inspiration, Scott began imitating the moves he saw in videos and films such as Breakin' and Beat Street when he was a teenager. The stubbed toes and bruised shins from break dancing allowed him to empathize with young kids like B2K whom he developed. At six-foot-four, Scott was on a basketball scholarship at Weber State University in Utah when he got his first break as a dancer. A local dance troupe set to perform a 10-minute show before a concert by a known rapper invited Scott to replace one of their dancers. It was his first public performance.

Scott began to find work as a dancer in music videos and toured with recording artist, Ginuwine. It wasn't long before he discovered that he also liked to create and be behind the scenes. He was soon choreographing and directing shows and tours for Brian McKnight, Tyrese, Jon B and IMX among other artists. He became inspired to create his own group of teen idols that would appeal to young fans…in the tradition of New Edition and Another Bad Creation. He ended up creating two groups, one of which was B2K. It proved to be the right mix of energies. Scott gave B2K their name, style, hot dance moves and all out sex appeal and took them to impresario Chris Stokes to handle the music. In just two years, B2K scored two platinum albums, a Christmas album and a remix CD, and headlined the sold-out Scream Tours. Scott, who choreographed the features House Party 4 and Good Burger, decided the next logical step was a feature film debut for B2K.

You Got Served, starring B2K, brought Scott full circle, as the film contains elements of his own personal experiences when was coming up. The movie follows the competitive world of street dancing where crews battle each other for money and respect. As master choreographer, Scott led them into battle.

"I gave a challenge to them and a challenge to myself," he says, noting that is something he always does, whether it's a live performance, video or a master class. "I always want to impress and be top notch. I try to take myself outside of myself, try to become the audience and think about what's going to make people go ‘oooohhh', try to give them that wow factor."

The success of his earlier work has made Dave a sought-after choreographer in all areas of the business. He has lent his talents to recent commercial campaigns for Sunny Delight, Pantene, and Chevy Cobalt. In addition to the Fox television drama Bones, Scott choreographed the hit film Coach Carter and choreographed for the Brian McKnight's music video Used to be My Girl. Even with his busy schedule, he still teaches Master Classes across the US, inspiring young dancers wherever he goes.

Jamal Sims (Supervising Choreographer) most recently worked with STEP UP 2 THE STREETS Producer Adam Shankman on the feature musical "Hairspray," which Shankman also directed. Among Jamal's other Choreography credits are "Hannah Montana, the Movie," "17" (Zac Effron), "Soul Men" (Bernie Mac, Samuel L. Jackson), "Step Up 1," "Beauty Shop," "Vanilla Sky," and "Garfield." Sims is known for his creativity in numerous commercials such as Target and Volkswagon, as well as music videos and stage shows for Usher, P. Diddy, Spice Girls, Outkast and Gloria Estefan.

As a dancer, her image is forever remembered as the "polka dot dress girl" which opens and closes the iconic dance film Dirty Dancing.

Well known for creating beautiful and extraordinary images for stage and screen Doriana Sanchez has gone on to become one of the most successful Director/Choreographers in entertainment.

Ryan Seacrest on "E News!" has called her the "Dancing Queen" and Tu Ciudad magazine named her one of the 25 "Hip Hot Now" Hispanics in arts and entertainment for 2006.

Doriana conceived, directed and choreographed Cher's "Living Proof" Tour which received 4 Emmy Awards, including the Emmy for Outstanding Musical Variety Special. The show played 325 dates to over 3 million people worldwide and grossed over 200 million dollars, making it the most successful tour in history for a female artist. Doriana was also nominated for an Emmy for her choreography on Cher's HBO Special. Currently she is the Director/Choreographer of Cher's spectacular new show at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

Doriana was honored to choreograph the World Premier of Frank Loesser's musical "Senor Discretion Himself", for which she received a Helen Hayes Award Nomination for choreography. The show won the award for Best New Musical.

Her great love of circus arts led her to China where she created "The Galaxy Star Circus" in Guangzhou, China. Other circus credits include "Circo Fantastico", an all Latin circus which she directed, choreographed and wrote, as well as "Odyssey", the first circus ever on a cruise ship, for Princess Cruises.

She has directed and choreographed numerous live stage productions and concerts, including the groundbreaking Video Games Live and Jane's Addiction's "Jubilee Tour." Doriana also choreographed Peter Gabriel's "Secret World Tour." Her production of Barry Manilow's "Copacabana" was nominated for best New Musical at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London. She has worked with musical legends such as Gladys Knight and the Pips, Natalie Cole, Rita Moreno, and Latin superstar Shakira. Her television credits include the Grammy Awards, the American Music Awards, the Euro VMA's, Divas Live, and multiple seasons as resident choreographer on Fox's hit show "So You Think You Can Dance."

Corporate clients include, Redken, Target, Toyota, Gillette, Mattel Toys and Canon.

She is a two time American Choreography Award Nominee.

Tony Meredith was born in San Diego, California. Growing up in a home filled with music by his musician father, Tony started to dance as a toddler. His love of dance grew as he watched American Bandstand and Soul Train, learning new dance steps and keeping up with the latest dance moves.

After he replied to a newspaper ad seeking dance teachers, there was no looking back. He was trained by the dance legend and former co-host of Championship Ballroom Dancing, Ron Montez.

When he partnered with Melanie LaPatin, it created an unstoppable combination. Since 1983, they have traveled the world representing the United States 12 times in the Professional World Latin American Dance Championships. As a team, they have captured over 100 first place trophies. As stated by Tito Puente, with whom they guest-starred, "Here are two people who have taken dancing to the utmost of professionalism and class around the world."

Whether it's dancing for 40,000 spectators at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, participating in the ESPN DanceSport Championships at Madison Square Garden, opening for Gloria Estefan at the Copacabana in New York City, or performing at the Congreso Bacardi de la Salsa in Puerto Rico, Tony and Melanie are "an elite partnership and exhibit remarkable artistry," according to Andrea Mineo of News 12 Long Island.

In addition, Tony and Melanie are in high demand, both as coaches of top dancers around the world and as choreographers for actors in film, television, and Broadway. Their feature film performances include Dance with Me, The Thomas Crown Affair, and The Last Days of Disco. They have also choreographed for the hit Fox show So You Think You Can Dance.

Possessing a versatility of styles from cha-cha to swing, tango to hustle, mambo/salsa to rhythm and blues, this pair has succeeded in captivating audiences worldwide with a blend of skill, artistry, and emotion.

Lil C appeared in and choreographed krump performances in seasons two and three of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and will be bringing his skills to the dance floor once again this season.

Lil C was featured in the critically acclaimed dance documentary "Rize" by David LaChapelle which chronicles the rise of the krumping and clowning dance styles – many credit Lil C as one of the most influential figures in krumping today. He also appeared in the film "Stomp the Yard" and choreographed for the films "Be Cool" and "Bring It On Yet Again."

In addition to SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, Lil C has appeared in and choreographed for numerous television dance performances including FOX's BONES, the 2007 "Teen Choice Awards," and the 2007 "NAACP Image Awards." Other television notable credits include "The 50th Annual Grammy Awards," "VH1 Big in 06 Awards," and the 2005 "American Music Awards."

Lil C has appeared in music videos for artists such as Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Ciara, Missy Elliot, Christina Millian, Sean Paul, Fall Out Boy, and Gwen Stefani, and has choreographed performances for Chris Brown, Omarian and Brooke Valentine amongst many others.

In addition to choreographing, Lil C also enjoys rapping, producing music, doing voiceovers, and playing basketball and football. Lil C currently lives in Los Angeles.

Pre-Registration for Companies and Prep Teams
