As the Rugcutterz Danz Artz family continues to grow, we hope this yearbook serves as a reminder of all the friends each of us has made during the past year in dance. Our goal for the yearbook is to create a keepsake for our dancers so that they remember their years at Rugcutterz Danz Artz. We also want to encourage school spirit and create a true community atmosphere within the studio. Everyone who dances at Rugcutterz Danz Artz should feel they are a part of a family. Some of the year’s highlights included our participation in the Santafest Parade, our annual gala organized by the Rugcutterz Parentz Association at Julius Roman Empire Banquet Hall and our year-end parties. Rugcutterz was also the recipient of the Top Choice Award for Best Dance Studio in the GTA, an award we’re extremely proud of winning again. The Rugcutterz competitive team continued its reputation for delivering award-winning routines with many of its’ groups, soloists and duet/trios winning overall awards. And once again, the Rugcutterz Production routine entitled ‘Far, Far Away,’ left audiences cheering. The year ended with a bang as all our talented dancers performed in the recital at the Rose Theatre in Brampton. Friends and family were treated to a memorable show from the opening number, to our fabulous hip hop dancers, acrobatic performers and the adorable little ones who always light up a stage. As you look through the pages of the yearbook we hope you enjoy the dance year in review and we look forward to creating even more lasting memories with our dancers for many years to come.
