ANNOUNCEMENTS

New Saginaw Location

Beginning July 1, 2009, J. Malone Dance Studios Saginaw Branch will be located at 6400 State Street.

NEW - "Dance Plus Stars" Dance Company

Will meet at the Saginaw location (6400 State St.) every Tuesday. This is by audition only. It is for children who want to learn competition. We will do 2 competitions in the month of May. Auditions will be held on September 13, 2009 (time will be scheduled later).

2009 Christmas Show

J. Malone Dance studios will be organizing the Christmas Show next season, which will take place in late November or early December of 2009.

Since Joan has organized past performances spanning 12 years, she feels now is the time to bring it back.

Auditions will take place in August 2009, for singers, actors, dancers, and groups. Look for updates as the audition date approaches for more information on where the auditions will be held.

We are a non-profit organization and the proceeds from the show will be donated to the Shriners Organization, which helps children.

Joan invites all dance studios to participate, as well as any local business leaders who may also be interested. Coming together in collaboration will undoubtedly create a great community event.  We plan to have the show at the Temple Theater, which is where the Shriners began in this area.

New Ballet Company

J. Malone Dance Studios will also be accepting auditions for a new Ballet Company which will be sponsored by The Saginaw Valley Cultural Organization, our non-profit organization, and will be under the direction of Joan Malone.

Ages of the young company will be 8 to 12 years, adults 13 through 16 years.

We would like to find someone to write grants for the company.  The ballet would then be performed in the 2009 Christmas Show.  If we receive grant money from the arts, our intention is to bring in a notable lead dancer from a professional ballet company.

We're also auditioning an all-boy's hip hop group to perform, as we would like the show to be well rounded, representing all the talent in our surrounding area. 

It's our intention that this event be not just for J. Malone Dance Studios, but for everyone in the arts community in the Saginaw area.

- Joan Malone, Director, Saginaw Valley Cultural Organization.
