A big THANK YOU to Mrs. Louise Giuliano of ballroomgifts.com for helping Dance Crazy find the perfect costumes and dance shoes for the Competition!

When Dance Crazy learned it was to receive a grant from the Ronald McDonald House Charities that would allow for the purchase of competition costumes, we had no idea where to start.  Finding a company to make good quality costumes, in large quantity and for a moderate price was going to be difficult.  Or so we thought....

The first person that came to mind to contact was Louise Giuliano.  Louise has been buying and selling ballroom dance clothing and accessories for years, and we hoped she could give us some advice.

Well, Louise went far above and beyond giving us advice.  She quickly moved to inquire with several companies that she was familiar with.  After receiving many samples and making many careful calculations in sizing, Louise was able to get a manufacturer to agree to a price that included not only costumes but ballroom dance shoes as well!

The costumes this year included a T-shirt with the Dance Crazy logo on it, pants/skirt with attached undergarment, and dance shoes. The children that participated in this years competition were able to keep the T-shirts, and the rest of the costume will be used again at future competitions.
