The DUPC is for dancers who want more time on stage and are ready to take their dance training to the next level in a team environment.</p>
<p class="p1">In addition to getting extra performance opportunities throughout the dance year, our DUPC dancers participate in community events, volunteer, and fundraise. They are role models within our studio community!</p>
<p class="p1">So who’s ready to meet the dancers? We asked them a few questions to help us get to know them a little better. <strong>Check out their responses below! </strong></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Guests do not need previous dance experience or dance attire. All levels are welcome! We also don’t want our guests to worry about dance attire or proper dance shoes. Athletic clothing that allows movement and a pair of socks (or clean gym shoes for hip hop) will work great! </span></p>

<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get excited! We can’t wait to welcome your friends to Dance Unlimited!</span></li>

If you stop by the studio, you’ll be greeted by our wonderful office staff as well as our smiling studio mascot, Poppi! </span><a href="https://dance-u.com/introducing-poppi-the-panda/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Read more about Poppi here</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you know Poppi, you know that he brings out the best in others. He reminds us all about what it means to be a member of the DU Family, exemplifying our studio’s core values. Passion, Acceptance, Nurture, Development, and Achievement are the values we hold onto with pride as we create our programs and opportunities for young dancers. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the ways we live out our studio mission is by giving back to our community. </span><b>There are so many opportunities to get involved with community service in Augusta, and we can’t wait to share how DU gives back each year! </b></p>
<h2><b>3 Ways that DU Gives Back:</b><b></b></h2>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><b>1. Have a Heart Food Drive</b></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each February, our studio celebrates Valentine’s Day by extending our hearts to those in need. We collect food and personal care items that are distributed to the Augusta Food Bank. Year after year, we see how much of a contribution we are able to make when our studio families all come together to give. This year, we were overjoyed by yet another successful Food Drive!</span><b></b></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><b>2. Valentine’s Day Cards for Health Facilities </b></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">To make the season of love even sweeter, we also encourage our dancers to create Valentine’s Cards patients at local Healthcare facilities. This year, we had enough cards to give to not one, but two facilities. We love making others feel a little extra love on Valentine’s Day! </span><b></b></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><b>3. Live Performances in our Community</b></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the holiday season, our DUPC dancers perform at the annual Augusta Tree Lighting. It’s one of our favorite events of the year as we share our passion for dance with the community. We treasure the smiles, laughter, and joy we get from the audience and it reminds us of how dance brings people together. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Our studio vision is about more than just great dancing.</strong> It’s about nurturing young spirits, accepting others, fostering passion, and so much more! Giving back to our community is one of the ways that we teach our students the value of community. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Community service in Augusta is so valuable for young minds. Our dancers are shaped by the goals we set for them and the opportunities we give them. We love showing them that #DanceUCares! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We love our Augusta community and we love giving back! Thank you to all our families who participated in our charity events this February!</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We have big news over here at Dance Unlimited! We are SO excited to introduce our brand new studio mascot, Poppi the Panda! </span><b>Look for Poppi’s fluffy, friendly face around the studio as you head back into class for our </b><a href="https://dance-u.com/dance-classes/"><b>2021/2022 Dance Season</b></a><b>! </b></p>
<p><em><a href="https://www.facebook.com/DanceUnlimitedMe/videos/549258869530565" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Watch the Facebook live reveal HERE! </a></em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Poppi the Panda will be joining the Dance Unlimited family because he represents what we are ALL about. </span><b>He exemplifies our studio’s core values: Passion, Acceptance, Nurture, Development, and Achievement.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> We take pride in these values throughout every aspect of our studio community. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These 5 core values are what makes enrolling at Dance Unlimited, LLC. such a valuable experience for our studio families. We make sure all of our students feel these values as they attend our weekly classes, participate in our performances, and if they join our Dance Unlimited Performance Company. Read on to learn more about our core values and the benefits of joining our dance family!</span></p>
<h2><b>What Your Child Gains From Joining the DU Family:</b></h2>
<ol>
<li><b><b>Passion<br />
</b></b>The Dance Unlimited teaching staff is <b><b><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">filled </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">with passion not only for our craft, but for sharing it with young minds. Most of us fell in love with dance at a young age, and our goal as dance educators is to instill that same passion in our students. To find passion is to develop an interest that turns into something a child loves. For many of our students, that becomes dance!</span></b></b><b><br />
</b></li>
<li><strong>Acceptance</strong><br />
Our studio is not only a place of learning, but a place of community. When you dance together, you work together, laugh together, and best of all, you grow up together! We see this time and time again and we always welcome new dancers joining the family. Lifelong friendships are built at Dance Unlimited!</li>
<li><strong>Nurture</strong><br />
Every child needs to feel support, inclusion, and love as they try new things. We love being one of the many positive forces in our students’ lives. In our weekly classes, we encourage them and build them up to reach their highest potential.</li>
<li><strong>Development</strong><br />
How do we see our dancers develop year after year within our programs? Aside from mastering technical skills, dancers improve self-esteem and confidence in class. We emphasize positive self-talk while working in class throughout the year. Once our students hit the recital stage, they are ready to take on the world!</li>
<li><strong>Achievement</strong><br />
In DU classes, we set goals and work towards them week after week. Whether that be getting our splits down, remembering our recital dance, or nailing a pirouette, our students learn how to work hard. They feel pride in their successes and we all celebrate together!</li>
</ol>
<p>We love sharing our core values with our dance families because they are what makes DU an <i><span>amazing </span></i><span>place to dance. </span><a href="https://dance-u.com/dance-classes/"><span>Visit our website to learn more about our programs!</span></a> <b>We are currently accepting enrollment in our 2021/2022 Dance Classes! </b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Poppi the Panda is SO excited to greet our new and returning dancers this Fall! Be sure to say hello and give a warm welcome. He serves as a reminder of the great things that can happen within our studio walls! </span></p>

It is somewhere safe for all dancers to come and be themselves while doing something they love. The staff have made sure that every dancer that comes through the doors is happy and healthy. I came to a recital before I moved to Maine and I knew from watching the dances that DU was where I wanted to be.</span></p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><b>What advice do you have for younger dancers?</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Always dance your hearts out and never wish to skip ahead to next year.

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><b>What do you love about DU? </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dance Unlimited has been my safe space since I started. It has provided me with opportunities and bonds I wouldn&#8217;t have found anywhere else. The instructors are happy to see you succeed and help you every step of the way. DU has taught me much more than just dance. I have learned how to be a good role model, serve my community, uplift others and to never give up.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><b>What advice do you have for younger dancers?</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Confidence is half the battle in becoming a good dancer. The key is to let go and focus on how you feel while dancing and not how you look. Technique comes with practice but passion comes with confidence.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><b>What are your favorite dance memories? </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dance Camp, Team Trip to Disney, and Attending NUVO in Boston</span></p>
