As the holiday season approaches, we reflect with grateful hearts on all the blessings we enjoy. As a studio family, would like to help make the holidays more special for others who may be less fortunate.

If you know of a family in need, please e-mail their name and brief information about their circumstances to infinitydanceinfo@gmail.com . All contacts will be kept strictly confidential. We would like to sponsor one family at each studio (one in the Brigham and one in the Ogden area). Once the families are selected, we will need basic information regarding their ages and individual wants/needs. We would like to find our families to sponsor by December 1 and hope to hear from you soon!
