Bring a Friend Week!
Bring a Friend to Dance Week!
Saturday, October 21st - Friday, October 27th
Do you have a friend interested in dancing? Would you like to show your friends how much fun it is to dance at Sole City? Well now is your chance! From Saturday, October 21st through Friday, October 27th you can bring a friend with you to take a FREE dance class. Your friend does not need experience, special dance clothes, or shoes - just comfortable clothing to move in, a positive attitude, and the willingness to learn and have fun!
Here is an invitation to give to a friend to attend one complimentary dance class with you*. Be sure to fill out the entire form, including the parent’s signature. Bring your friend and the completed form to class during the week of October 21st-October 27th. One invite per class you are currently enrolled in. For every friend you bring, you’ll be entered into a raffle to win an SCD Logo Item! Plus, if your friend registers that day, both you and your friend will receive $10 off one month of tuition!
*Aerial Classes and company are excluded from Bring a Friend week
We look forward to seeing some new faces :)
