1. Paddles Up - Dance Studio Expansion

Duchesne’s dance program, founded within the last three years, has grown to represent the pride, spirit and tradition of sisterhood within the school community. Currently housed in the Hutcheson Fine Arts building, the studio is sized for up to six dancers. Needless to say, the enthusiasm for dance has outgrown our current capacity and it’s time to honor the needs of our girls and pay homage to our own “Dancing Queen,” Patricia Swenson whose passion for music and dance can be honored by naming this new state of the art space after her.

This year’s paddles up hopes to raise funds to expand the dance studio to triple its size. An expanded space, fully equipped with dance appropriate flooring, ballet barre and mirrored walls would allow the existing dance program to thrive and make way for a full expansion of dance across divisions.

The Dance Studio Expansion allows for:

• Expansion of the dance program to Lower School girls which could allow for the additional opportunities to offer Pom, Hip Hop, Tap, Jazz, and Ballet after school.

• Offer 5th grade dance programming.

• Allow 7th and 8th grade dancers access to a studio setting, relocating them from the current Fine Arts lobby.

• Build upon current dance offerings in Upper School and eliminate scheduling conflicts with other Fine Arts and Athletic classes and activities.

A revitalized and enlarged studio would allow for warm up and choreography space for the Charger Girls before school, accommodate after school programming for Lower School girls, who wish to dance at Duchesne and expand the dance elective for Middle School dancers.

So get your jazz hands ready and raise your paddles for Duchesne Dance!

4. Couples will, in general, be assigned a joint bidder number.

5. A bidder’s assigned number is unique and will serve as identification throughout the auction proceedings.

6. Your bid, oral or written, constitutes a “contract to buy.” Please remember this during bidding, and be sure to use the bidder number assigned to you during check-in.

7. All sales are final. Auction items, except where specified, are not exchangeable, refundable, or transferable. Everything is sold “as is.” Please read the specifications and restrictions carefully. The descriptions are as accurate as possible, and the Extravaganza Committee (“Committee”) and Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart (“Duchesne”) are neither responsible nor liable for any discrepancies that may occur.

8. Unless otherwise specified, all auction items and services must be redeemed within one (1) year of event.

12. Invoices will be emailed to bidders shortly after the close of the event. Items can be picked up after purchase is confirmed.

13. The invoice will contain a fair market value assessment, as well as the price paid.

It is the sole responsibility of the winner to handle all tax deduction issues in the proper manner, consulting a tax advisor, if needed.

14. By his/her purchase, the buyer waives any claims for liabilities against Duchesne or the donor. Neither Duchesne nor the donor is responsible for any personal injury or damage to property that may result from the use of an item or service sold.

15. In the event of a dispute, the Extravaganza Chair, in conjunction with Duchesne staff, will determine the winning bidder. This decision will be final.
