Finger Lakes Tap Dance Festival 2009
Dear friends and supporters,
I hope this email finds you well. As a friend and supporter of the Finger Lakes Tap Dance Festival I wanted to connect with you regarding the 2009 Festival.
The Tap Legacy Foundation, Inc. is currently in the process of restructuring its festival programming to ensure maximum community impact and sustainability, and in so doing, has found a need to temporarily suspend the Finger Lakes Tap Dance Festival for 2009, with strong plans to return in March 2010.
I would personally like to thank you for your past support and look forward to seeing you again in March 2010, if not at another Tap Legacy Event. In the interim, I hope that you will join TLF as we continue to grow, preserving and advancing the art of tap dance.
Sincerely,
Andrew J. Nemr
President and Co-founder
Tap Legacy Foundation, Inc.
P.S. Remember to visit our Blog at TapLegacy.org for the latest Foundation Announcements.

You will be able to see spectacular dance works from the following choreographers and companies: Daniel Gwirtzman, Christian von Howard, Stephanie Milling, Alice Howes, Nicole C. Lalibertè, E.E. Motion and Caroline Calouche & Co.
Opening the program will be the Charlotte Dance Festival Repertory Ensemble performing a historic modern dance work, Greek Dreams with Flute, choreographed by a forerunner in American Dance, Erick Hawkins (1909 -1994). Erick Hawkins received the President's Medal for the Arts at the White House on October 14, 1994 from President Clinton. In the President's words: "For his boldness and talent he commands a legendary place in the American Modern Dance heritage…truly a pioneer."
Katherine Duke, a Charlotte native and Artistic Director of the Erick Hawkins Foundation, cast Greek Dreams with Flute during the CDF Summer Workshop in August. 'Giving back to the Charlotte cultural community was an amazing experience! When I was growing up in Charlotte in the 1970s there were very little professional arts happening. I'm so glad to see such a huge growth!' said Katherine Duke in August.
Come learn how modern dance has influenced today's choreographers at Dance Charlotte!

"The Mitten Tree"...Giving to the United Way
Here is an idea that I began at my dance studio in 2004, and I would like to share it with other dance studios in the hopes that you will consider doing the same, and possibly help to make this a well recognized, national event. I hope you will consider doing this at your studio this year. If you are looking for an easy, yet very worthwhile charitable thing to suggest to your studio families for the holidays, consider doing a "Mitten Tree", and choosing "The United Way" in your county as the charity. Here is how we have done this:
We put an undecorated Christmas tree in the studio waiting room, and sent home memos about this project. We asked families to consider donating a pair of mittens, (or gloves) for a boy or girl or an adult, and when they brought them in they were hung on the tree. They also first, stopped by the front desk, and wrote their name on one of our "paper" mittens. (We purchased packs of die cut mittens at a local craft store.) Then once the "real" mittens got collected by The United Way, we used the paper mittens to decorate the tree as a reminder of their generosity during the holiday season. (The United Way needs the collected mittens (and gloves) by mid December in order to distribute them to the needy in time for the holidays.)
The children were very excited about doing this as were their parents. It gave them an opportunity to "give" to someone less fortunate during the holiday season. It was completely optional...no pressure at all. In addition, the cost of mittens or gloves is quite reasonable and they are a small, easy item to transport and collect.
I implore you to consider to do this at your studio next year, and begin a tradition as we have, and to donate them to the United Way in your county. They have a program called "Wrapped In Love" and mittens are a much requested item. Start early, as delivery deadline is first week in December!
This could become a huge, nation wide event if numerous studios would decide to participate. It really takes very little effort and not a lot of space in your studio....just a tree and flyers to distribute stating your mission. At my dance studio, we began this program in 2004, and within just 2 weeks, were able to collect 250 pairs of mittens. By starting this right around Thanksgiving in 2005, we more than doubled that amount. We have started a tradition that we hope continues to grow, and are now imploring other dance studios throughout the country to do the same.
Please feel free to share this with your family and friends, and any other dance studios you have contact with.
Please Note: If you could so kindly send an email to kadstudio@gmail.com or call me at (908-371-1757) if you decide to do this, as I would like to keep a log of how many studios get involved. Please drop me a note with your name, and the name and address of the sudio and how many pairs of mittens were collected. Please feel free to contact me for any assistance, or if you have any questions.
Thank you for your holiday spirit and generosity.
