Dear Mr. Shapiro:
We, the parents of dancers from Joan Crawford Dance Studio, are writing this letter requesting
support from the City of Ocoee. We are raising money to send our competitive dance team to
Nationals in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in July. These children are very talented and spend
as many as 12-25 hours in the studio preparing for these competitions. They have had many
accomplishments over the past year including regional overall award winners, Mr. and Ms.
Showbiz, Mr. Starpower, and one of our seniors was selected as a Predator girl!
Our competition team consists of approximately 50 dancers - 17 of these students were recently
selected to be on the West Orange High School Dance Corps team. These dancers are not only
active in the Studio,but they are also active in the local Ocoee schools (Spring Lake Elementary,
Ocoee Elementary, Ocoee Middle, and West Orange High School) and community.
They are very excited to represent the studio and the city of Ocoee on the national level this
summer. Any consideration you could give this team of dedicated dancers would be greatly
appreciated. If you have any questions, please contact Sherry Albright (291-1739) during
daytime hours or myself(293-6034) in the evening. If you would like to speak with our Studio
Director, Melissa Makin, please contact her during daytime hours at 578-1463. Thanks so much
for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Joan Crawford Dance Studio Parents
