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.

Halloween Bash

Hello all,



In order to get a correct count and idea of how many will be attending the Halloween Bash, at both studios, we are going to give tickets out so we know how many people to expect.

There is NO charge, but we do need you to pick up your tickets this next week at the studio (both Brigham and Ogden). You can get as many tickets as you need for your entire family.

Also, we still need help from parents at both studios, SO PLEASE let us know if you can assist.

Remember to come in costume!!
