Merry Christmas from Concept3

It has been a Merry Christmas for Concept3. I would like to thank all of my friends and family who have supported me along the way. I have met some great people and have had such a blast. It has been an amazing few months and we finished out the year to date with 111 customers. That might sound small but it has all been by complete word of mouth. Once we launched the website and blog, I have been so busy I have not even had a chance to advertise so I consider myself very blessed. I started this business with the idea of bringing the store to the studio and I had no idea how big this would become. I hope to continue my success with some great new ideas and events that are going to be taking place in the New Year. Be on the look out for some exciting competition news, convention dates, casting calls and all things dance related. Be sure to be checking out our website. www.shopconcept3.com for the latest fashion trends that will keep you in style while you are on stage.


Keep Dancing!

Kennesaw Day Parade

On Saturday, December 8th Kennesaw hosted it Christmas parade complete with the arrival of Santa pulled by real reindeer downtown. CK Danceworks was on as parade participants this year going bigger and better with a full blown float. After a crazy start, the float was up and running and looked super fabulous. Of course the dancers added some extra flair as well. Here are some great pictures from the parade. Now that Santa is in town make sure stop to by http://www.shopconcept3.com/ to check that your lists are filled with some great dance gear!

Tis' the Season

The holiday season is a special time in the dance world because it is the time of Sugar Plum Fairies and Toy Soldiers. It is a magical time when every dancers fantasy comes alive on stage with the most magical story of all... The Nutcracker.

This year I am psyched to announce that Christina Huggins, a Company IV member of CK Danceworks DanceElite, auditioned and was accepted to star in this years production with the Atlanta Ballet. She will be starring in 5 public performances. The Atlanta Ballet has this production running from December 1st to December 30th. It is truly the holiday event of the season and an Atlanta tradition! This performance will be held at the Fox Theater and tickets are availale at ticketmaster.com

You can get more information at www.atlantaballet.com.

Congratulations Christina!

Picture Day at CK Danceworks

This Saturday Concept3 was set up at CK Danceworks for their studios black and white picture day. It was a huge success. I got to meet a lot of great kids and parents alike. Sandy's Photography was on hand once again to capture some of those precious smiles from all the little ballerinas. Watching all those cutey pies all dressed up in their fancy tutus and crowns got me all teary eyed remembering my little ballerina when she first started and she had her first set up pictures taken from Sandy's Photography. The pictures were fantastic capturing the sparkle in her smile and the stars in her eyes. She has grown so much since then but I will always have that first picture. If you were able to take advantage of having your picture taken you can come view your proofs on Saturday October 27th at CK Danceworks. If you missed them then I certainly suggest you checking out her website and schedule your portraits. Whether it is a dance pose or a family portrait Sandys photography is the perfect choice. Here is my little ballerina for her first recital complements of Sandy's Photography! Check her out at www.sandys-photography.com

Our First Magazine Cover

Well not really! no I cannot take credit for the magazine cover the amazing girls at CK Danceworks are responsible for putting that all together. But what I am proud of is the fact that they are wearing the awesome tops that they purchased from Concept3. This is our first print ad and I could not be more proud. The girls look amazing in the tops. I only hope that this is the first stop in my quest to change the face of fashion for dancers everywhere or at least the Acworth area. One can dream! Speaking of the Acworth area, if you are looking for a top quality, high energy school be sure to call Christina Wiginton or Kensey Bowling at CK Danceworks 770-975-7298. From ballet and pointe to hip hop and tumble the ever growing studio is a great choice for any level of dancer. And remember, whatever area or dance you are in be sure to check out http://www.shopconcept3.com/ for all the best in dance fashions and accessories.

Launch Post

Dear friends, family and all of you out there who have motivated, supported, guided and even pushed me into creating this business....I thank you... I think :)

I wanted to create this blog to continue to give people a window into my mind and welcome anyone who has anything to add. This business is an amazing new venture that I may have conceived on my own but would not have gotten to the place it is today had I not had constant feedback along the way. Although there has been many late nights and long hours poured into the creation of Concept3 the mission is still as strong as ever. I wanted to give parents the convenience of being able to get all of their dance needs in the easiest possible way. Dance is a way of life, it is a beautiful expression of movement and rhythm that after years of training can become as effortless and flawless as the wind. There is beauty in its art and that beauty can only be achieved through hardwork and dedication. Gone are the days of black leotards and tutus. Dance is becoming one of the hottest trends to take over the world and we are here to outfit you. There is an old saying that floats around the walls of many studios. It says "Dance like noone is watching" Here at Concept3 we say "Dance like everyone is watching, and if they are watching you want to look good!"

To everyone out there you know who you are...Congratulations! We did it!
