New Studio Fundraiser
We still need your help!
With just a little over a week until the doors officially open, we're ramping up our fundraising efforts with a campaign to help get everything we need in place at the new studio for the fall session. So many of you have already been enormously generous, and we're hoping to inspire more giving with some creative new ways below, as well as some friendly competition. A donation at any level is a wonderful way to support your dancer, a loved one or friend that loves Irish dance and finds the Studio a special place.
And for those who participate, the Giving Tree will be our way of giving public recognition to all Atlanta Irish Dance donors. Located at the new studio entrance, the Giving Tree will be viewed by all families and visitors to our studio. A big shout out to those donors who have already 'made' the Giving Tree List (see below). We're also keeping track below on the class level participation percentages so you can keep up with those totals, too.

Giving Tree
From the Giving Tree you can choose from various items that our dance families would LOVE to have:
This contribution will cover the entire cost of 1 stool for the changing room. We need 2 stools.
This contribution will cover a portion of the cost to buy a bench. We are need one bench for the lobby.
This contribution will cover a portion of the trash can cost. We need 6 large trash cans.
This contribution will cover the entire purchase of the coffee table. We only need 1 coffee table for the lobby.
This purchase will cover 5’ of ballet bars. We would like to have 40’ total
We are hoping to add 24’ of additional mirrors. 1.2’ of mirrors = $150 mostly due to labor of installing.

Dance Level Competition!
The competition is ON! We will be updating this weekly with the new percentages! This will be based on participation, not amount. Every little bit helps!

All proceeds will be donated to the studio fundraising campaign. Participants will receive recognition on the Giving Tree and in the class participation competition. Check out some of the first photos coming in from the initial session below.
The first rounds of photos can be booked for August, 9th, 10th, 11th, 16th, 17th, 23rd, 30th & 31st. Additional dates and times may be added later in the month based on demand.

The cost is $75 per 30-minute session.
The cost includes 2 digital images of your choice from the final set provided (4 to 5 maximum).
Any additional photo downloads from the final set will be a $5 per download fee.
The session can be booked for an individual dancer or a group of dancers. NOTE: Any group sessions booked will only include photos of the group of dancers together.
Only one costume or dress is allowed per session. If a dancer would like costume shots and casual shots, please consider booking two sessions. Shoe changes are allowed within one session.
All photos will be taken in Piedmont Park. Best locations have already been scouted and directions on where to meet the photographer will be sent in the confirmation email. Locations within the park will vary by date and best light available.
