35th Anniversary Party
Footlights 35th Anniversary Celebration
Join us on Sunday, August 2nd from 10:00am–1:00pm as we celebrate 35 years of Footlights with a special in-store community event!
This will be a celebration-only event featuring interactive activities, memories, and fun—not a fitting day or traditional shopping appointment day.
🚫 Please note: No fittings will be available during this event
Instead, enjoy a morning filled with:
- Dance Bingo with prizes
- A Memory Wall featuring Footlights stories through the years
- A Photo Station to capture the celebration
- Our Pointe Shoe Decorating Experience, with the option to enter into a contest ($10 pre-registration required for decorating).
We’re excited to gather with our dance community, share memories, and celebrate 35 years of movement, milestones, and Footlights moments together!
Please RSVP so we can make sure attendance is within our limits!
