Gotta Dance Message Board

πŸŽ„ Secret Santa Sign-Up 🎁

We are just past Halloween and getting ready for the next big thing: Jingle Jam and Secret Santa!

We will try our best to keep the Secret Santa posts separate from the general Jingle Jam posts.

βœ… Official Secret Santa Sign-Up

Here is the official sign-up for Secret Santa!

Must be completed no later than December 1st so we have time to pull names and pass the information along before our Jingle Jam event.

Secret Santa will be held immediately following the Jingle Jam event!

We can't wait to celebrate the holiday season with all our dancers! πŸŽ„βœ¨

πŸ— DINNER PLANS? WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED! πŸ—
Make it a win-win kind of night! While the kids are enjoying our Jingle Jam, take a little time for yourself and support Gotta Dance Performing Arts Studio at the same time!

πŸ“ Chick-fil-A in Clay (Rt. 31)
πŸ“… Monday, December 21, 2026
πŸ•“ 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Here's the deal:

βœ… 20% of orders placed through the Chick-fil-A App will be donated directly to our dance studio!

βœ… 10% of all in-restaurant orders will also be donated back to the studio!

So, drop the kids off at Jingle Jam, or stop by on your way to Jingle Jam, grab some dinner, and maybe even squeeze in that last little bit of Christmas shopping while you're out!

It's an easy way to enjoy a little time to yourself, cross something off your holiday to-do list, AND help support our dancers!

πŸŽ„ Two birds, one stone… dinner AND fundraising! πŸŽ„

Thank you for continuing to support Gotta Dance Performing Arts Studio and our dancers! Every order makes a difference!

πŸ“£ Please share this flyer on your social media accounts, print and post it at work, and help us spread the word!
🚨 We Are LIVE!!! 🚨
The T-Shirt Fundraiser has officially kicked off! πŸŽ‰ We have 18 days to find up to 36 of our favorite people and supporters to help us reach our goals.

Please use the link below to join the team:
πŸ‘‰ Click Here to Join the Team

Once you join, each dancer will receive their own personal fundraising page to share with family, friends, coworkers, and supporters.

Let everyone know that it only takes $20 to get their name on the shirt. It doesn't get any easier than that!

Important: Names are limited to 25 characters per line.

Every dancer's goal is $700. The great thing is that supporters can choose to donate more than the $20 minimum when they visit your page, helping you reach your goal even faster!

Please note that when creating your page, you will be asked to confirm that you understand if you do not raise at least $70, your Fan Club shirt will not be produced.

If you have any questions, please feel free to message me directly or leave a comment below. (I'm not sure if I'll be notified of comments, so messaging me may be the fastest way to reach me.)

πŸ€ Good luck everyone! πŸ€

Additional Option: If you are unable to participate in fundraising for names on the back of the shirts, please send me a private message. I will make sure your dancer can still receive a matching shirt with the front decal only for $25.

We want every dancer to have the opportunity to be part of the team and wear a matching shirt! πŸ’œ
