May 2008 Newsletter

The Midwest Directors’ Conference was a very worthwhile event in Iowa, this last month. We connected with many dance coaches from several upper Midwest states. We try to attend as many high school dance team conferences where we are members, when our schedule allows, along with show choir and other various organizations. You can watch our listings on our Upcoming Events Page, to see when we are able to attend an event near you!

For our Minnesota High School dance teams and dance studios, if your schedule limits you from touring our Satin Stitches’ facility, but you are interested in working with Satin Stitches, to design and manufacture your dance costumes for your groups, we have recently added Tracy Oliver to our staff. Tracy is the head coach for the award-winning Eden Prairie High School Dance Team. You can read her bio on our About Us page.

Tracy has been a customer of Satin Stitches since 1998, noting that Eden Prairie’s first Satin Stitches costume has been used for five different jazz routines in the past 10 years! She states: “My experience costuming my team PRIOR to Satin Stitches was awful, and included poor customer service, inconsistent sizing, poor quality and fit, and missed deadlines."

Tracy’s goal, as our new sales representative is to insure that each team or individual receives a valuable and personable experience with Satin Stitches’ custom performance apparel. Welcome Tracy! Call to set up your design appointment at our shop, with our staff designers, or with Tracy. We are already working on new orders for FALL delivery!

We continue to showcase our designs at these upcoming events:
