“Dear Santa,
What I really want for Christmas is NOT the latest smart phone or any video games. What I REALLY want are a few more keen items for my Chicken Dance clothes! Maybe a nice set of bells, or a sweet Northern roach, or some beautiful beadwork to help make my dance clothes the best they can possibly be! You see, Santa, I really want to make a great showing at this next NOAC and I need your help!”
Yes, it’s that time of year when you begin to hint and ask and plead for something really nice in the way of presents during this holiday season. You guys know that good dance clothes are NOT cheap, and that good dance clothes help to make a better presentation during competitions. If you’ve any interest in being a serious contender at your Section Conclave or the 2012 NOAC take advantage of this “gift”opportunity and ask for financial assistance with your dance clothes. Use any and every special occasion between now and your next competition to get additional items for your Chicken Dance clothes: Christmas, Chanukah, your birthday, graduation, Eagle Court of Honor – whatever!
Here’s another thing to keep in mind: good AIA dance clothes will last much longer, if you take care of them, than any game or new bit of electronics. Ten, twenty, thirty years from now you’ll be able to look at that nice set of bells as you are putting them on and think back to when you were given them in 2011. Matter of fact, a nice set of bells will last you the rest of your life. You can’t say that about an iPhone 4s.
