DAC 2012 Conference
& Trade Show

Hi Everyone:
First, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a
belated safe and happy New Year.
I am sorry I missed the Calgary Conference but I would like to announce
the safe arrival of our second son, Jaxon Joseph, born on December
12th.
Everything I have heard from those in attendance, at the Calgary
Conference, it was a tremendous success and a real tribute to the 25th
Anniversary of the Dancewear Association of Canada.
As an Association, we are able to achieve better pricing and services
from our manufacturers and also address operating situations which will
allow us all to become more efficient and professional in meeting our
customer needs.
In the middle of the chaos heading into the busy competition season
and trying to dig out from the knee-deep fall orders, please make sure
you are planning to carry the excitement of Calgary to Montreal in
November for our 26th Annual Conference.
The DAC Executive are working together to better our organization while
providing an aura of excitement and relaxation for our members.
Come to the Montreal Conference with your ideas on how to grow your
business, your company, your establishment and our Association for the
second Twenty-five years.
See you in Montreal, let’s talk and ask me about the Mayonnaise Jar.

Clarifying DAC Criteria for
Membership
The DAC executive has decided that a more concrete
and explicit criteria for DAC membership is required
in order to be able to better communicate and gauge
eligibility for prospective manufacturing and retail
members. We are therefore working to revise the DAC
Code of Conduct since it is what is used to measure
whether or not a wholesaler or retailer is eligible for
membership.
Current Code of Conduct
As it stands the Code of Conduct is the following for
Retail Membership and Manufacturer Membership...
Retail Membership
The Retail Membership shall consist of legitimate retailers
of Dancewear/Dance Footwear who:
• Pay municipal and/or provincial retail business license
and/or tax(es)
• Carry year-round stock of dancewear and shoes
• Carry and display a stock in trade at a permanent
location
• Are open for business during normal daily business
hours for 12 months each calendar year
• Sell to the general public
• Do not buy from basement operations unless the
article is not available from a manufacturing member
• Do not tranship (do not supply a given manufacturer’s
goods to a retailer who does not have an account with
that manufacturer)
Manufacturer Membership
The Manufacturer Membership shall consist of legitimate
manufacturers of Dancewear/Dance Footwear who:
• Are a commercially zoned legitimate manufacturing
operation regardless of country
• Pay municipal and/or provincial manufacturing
business license and/or tax(es)
• Attend the annual DAC meeting
• Maintain a presence in Canada
• Deal directly and exclusively with legitimate retailers,
as outlined above
• Do not sell directly to dance companies, dance
schools, or the ultimate consumer (Note: A
manufacturer may sell seconds or damaged good
through a factory outlet)
Revising the DAC Code of
Conduct
We are organizing an email vote for all the DAC members
later in March regarding a revised code of conduct for
DAC membership. We intend to eliminate any ambiguity
about who is and is not qualified to become a DAC
member. Please watch your inboxes for information on
how to participate in the vote on these revisions. We
thank-you in advance for casting your vote promptly once
it is sent out.
If and when the updated code of conduct is approved
by the DAC membership, we will then overhaul the
application process to be sure that all new applicants are
being vetted for meeting the criteria of the new code of
conduct.

MARCH 2012
t Info
DAC Application Processing
Suspended
Membership and Fees
As it stands we have three pending DAC applications:
Eileen & Richard Pendred (Secretary/Treasurer) Phone: (905) 637-6391
rpendred@cogeco.ca
1. A manufacturing member application, from Heart and
Soul
2. A retail membership from Stage Stars in Prince Albert,
Saskatchewan
3. A retail member application from The Shoe Room, in
Toronto, Ontario.
It has been decided by the executive to temporarily
suspend accepting or rejecting any new applications.
Once the criteria for membership reforms are voted
on and we can update the process of vetting new
applications we will reinitiate the process of conducting
the verifications necessary for these applicants.
The executive is committed to strengthening the
organization through increased membership and are
confident these steps will establish a solid foundation to
expand upon.
Have questions about your membership or fees?
General Inquiries
Do you have a question or suggestion for the DAC
executive, have an idea for an initiative, want to find
out how to vollunteer, or need to update your contact
information?
Send an email to the general DAC email address, and a
vollunteer will put you in touch with the right person.

Capezio Upgrades
Pointe Shoe Styles
In the spirit of celebrating the company’s 125th
Anniversary, Capezio renews its commitment to Classical
Ballet with a new set of Pointe Shoe Standards.
With the technical challenges of today’s classical ballet
dancer and the demand for enhanced articulation of the
foot, Capezio upgraded several pointe shoe styles to
satisfy dancers’ needs. Features include a reinforced
back strap, graduated soles and shank lengths, flattened
crowns, improved pleat construction, and, a new “quiet”
toe feature.
The upgraded shoes are also packaged in a newly
designed red pointe shoe box allowing stores and
consumers to easily decipher new products.
For further information on the upgrades, please view the
following informational video:

Capezio Launches
SnakeSpine™ Dansneaker™
Capezio proudly announces the revolutionary
SnakeSpine™ Dansneaker™ (Style DS100) available
in stores starting March 2012. SnakeSpine™ is a sleek
and responsive tool that really keeps the dancer in tune
with their bodies and connected to the floor. It was
engineered specifically for dancers and provides a large
range of functionality without sacrificing the dancers
aesthetic.
Functionally, SnakeSpine is a hybrid dansneaker® - it looks
like a full soled sneaker but functions like a traditional split
soled dance sneaker. It maintains the articulation under the
arch and enhances the ability to articulate the forefoot. It is
able to flex in both directions so that a dancer may more
easily roll through the foot into releve and even on to pointe.
SnakeSpine also provides enhanced medial and lateral
support and ample side walls to push off from. The outsole
composition is TPU in two densities that allow for easier
turns and sliding motions. The look and the profile of the
sneaker simultaneously provide lengthened and clean leg
lines and an athletic look.
The Capezio SnakeSpine ad campaign features
Adar Wellington, NETS Dancers Coach, along
with Bobby Newberry, choreographer for
X-Factor. A promotional video can be viewed at

INTRODUCING:
Eye Candy
Performance Lashes
T
he tradition of wearing
thick caterpillar-looking lashes
dates back to when stages were
up lit with large bright cannon
lights placed on the front-edge
of the stage floor. The harsh
up-facing lighting washed out
the performer’s features, which
neccesetated heavy makeup in
the crease of the eye, lips and
cheekbones, finishing with a
heavy black lash.
Today stage lighting consists of
100% overhead lighting, much
different than before. Using
the same heavy caterpillar lash
works against the performer
now. The thick lash creates a
canopy over the eye resulting
in a shadowy eye socket.The
heavy long lash eliminates the
connection with the audience
by hiding the emotion of the
eyes with the shadow of the
lash.
Creating the right lashes to
exentuate a dancers face with
modern lighting is what Eye
Candy Performance Lashes were
designed to do. They are a nod
to the tradition of the heavy
stage lash, but are ideal with the
professional modern stage look
needed today.
Perfect for All-Ages
Eye Candy Performance Lashes
are a moderate thickness, that
can be worn by adults and
children.
The half lashes are the perfect
size for children, youth, or adult
dancers whos studios prefer a
more natural look on stage.
The double lashes with a plain
style and a rhinestone style
are available in both kids and
adults.Which makes it possible
for a studio to have standard
lashes for every student
regardless of age.
Both Firm and Flexible
Our lashes are created tough
enough to withstand the wearand-tear of dance competitions
and festivals. All our lash
bands are made thick enough
for multiple applications and
removals. However if lashes are
too stiff, they will lift up at the
corners, or fall off altogether.
The Eye Candy Performance
Lashes are firm, yet flexible
enough to adhere to the eye
comfortably.
For Studio Requirements
and Sparkle on a Budget
Our rhinestone lashes are
perfect for adding some extra
sparkle to a dance solo.While
the plain lash is a standard for
studio requirements.
The retail price of the double
lash with one plain and one
rhinestone lash is still less
expensive than MAC’s single
lash.
Resealable Packaging
The clam shell packaging
is meant to be used to store
the performance lashes.
Instructions on the back make
application easy, and guide new
dance parents in how to remove
and care for the lashes to get
repeated use from them.
18
MARCH 2012
The Choice for Studios
Here’s why Eye Candy Performance
Lashes is an obvious choice for the
studios and retailers:
Easy Reference Style Numbers
Studios can choose a style number
for a lash they want everyone on the
team to use. This number will be the
same year to year, and, it will create
a uniform and professional look for
all their dancers. Encourage studio
directors to let the parents know
exactly what lash they want by style
number and where to find the lashes.
Reduced Frustration for Parents
No more parents running from drug
store to drug store trying to find a style
of lashes that are sold out. Parents
can stock up on extra back up pairs
of lashes confident that next year the
studio will use the same lash.
NEW!
Eyelash Adhesive
Impulse Convenience
Retailers that don’t stock lashes are
missing out on impulse convenience
purchases. Even if the drug store or
dollar store has one use lashes for $5 or
$10, a stressed-out dance mom at your
cash register will happily pick up a
pair of better quality lashes to save the
extra trip somewhere else.The trick
is to have them in stock at the cash
January to June.
Upsell Potential
For the retailer this little lash is
driving dance moms and dads directly
to you, making it possible to pick
up add-on sales for the performance
season: tights, hairpins, rhinestone
jewellery, Dance Paws, glitter body
spray, etc. An $11 sale can easily
become $111. The Eye Candy
Performance Lashes conveniently give
dancers a reason to come into your
store during performance time.

2011 Conference Notes
Retail Review
Scholarship
Retailers were pleased that new product catalogues
were ready for the DAC conference.
Additional scholarships were awarded in memory of Russ
Duncan and Donna Booth.
Special show deals wre much appreciated.
Three awards were drawn:
Retailers should book appointments before coming to
the trade show, to make better use of their time.
Barbara Uhoda scholarship
Russ Duncan scholarship
Donna Booth scholarship
Performances during the trade show distracted buyers.
Shorter perfomances would be better.
Guests to the trade show are taking up space at
the booths. (Which is another reason for booking
appointments early).
Guests are only allowed one visit to the trade show.
19 applications were received during the past year, we
hope the trend continues.

DAC Group Emails
DAC Group Emails
As a DAC member, you have the benefit of being in touch
with the extraordinary DAC community year-round using
the DAC Group Email addresses.
Using the DAC Group Emails is just like sending a regular
email. But your message will be forwarded to everyone in
the group.
There are two DAC Group Email addresses…
Emailing All DAC Members
For sending a message to all the DAC members, simply
send an email to:
allDACmembers@dancewear.ca
Emailing DAC Retailers Only
For messages that contain information manufactures
may prefer you don’t share with other manufacturers, we
have a separate retailer-only group email address. As a
rule-of-thumb, use this address anytime you mention a
manufacturer brand or product:
DACretailers@dancewear.ca
It’s a good idea to add these address to your address
book software, so you can easily send a message to DAC
members anytime you want to.
Avoid Nuisance Reply Emails
When receiving group emails, if you want to contribute to
the discussion, press the REPLY button, and your message
will be sent to everyone on the list.
If your response is intended just for the sender, then avoid
adding to the mountain of emails we all already receive,
by replying only to the email address of the person who
sent the message.
Thanks!
Thanks to everyone who provided content for this
newsletter, and a special thanks to:
• Amber Riedel (Inspirations Dancewear) for
coordinating;
• Antonella Pagano (Bodywrappers/Angelo Luzio) and
