2013 Dance Floor Riot Performing Arts Scholarships!!

CONGRATULATIONS to Joelle Harms and Courtney VanDamme for being selected to receive the first 2 Dance Floor Riot Performing Arts Scholarships!! We worked closely with Fox High School for the decision to choose these 2 students to receive the innaugural scholarships, Joelle specializing in band and Courtney in vocal performance.  We wanted to give back to students who are going to college to pursue their craft in hopes they would continue to chase their dreams!  We would like to thank the individuals and organizations who have contributed to making this a success; Mitch McAllister, Steve Ewing and Steve's Hot Dogs on the Hill.

Congrats again Joelle and Courtney, and we wish you much success in the future!!

CD RELEASE PARTY!!!

The moment has finally come... we will be releasing our very first CD on January 26th, and we're hosting a HUGE party to make it a show not-to-be-missed!!  We will be joined by "Those Guys" in the Duck Room at the infamous Blueberry Hill (which is located in the Delmar Loop!!)

We're keeping the details of the CD a surprise for that night, but what we will say is that this is no 3-song demo CD...  it is a 9-song full length album!! 

The show will be from 9-12:30 and tickets will only be $10, and will be sold at the door only.  Tickets and seating are limited, so be sure to get there early to ensure asmission and/or a seat!!  However, if we hit the room capacity, we will do our best to squeeze everyone in, so even if you you must come late... make sure you don't miss this!!

We will be giving away some movie/TV/music prizes that night, and the cost of our CD is... FREE!!
