Hello friends and fans of White Tree Fine Art/UAF!*

This is Nikki and Ethan White of “White Tree Fine Art” and “Urban Art Farm”. We have made it to the Finals on Paula Addul’s new television show ‘Live to Dance’ on CBS!!!! We want to thank all of you who took the time to vote for us and who showed their support for ballet on National TV.

With the success of all the dance shows on TV now, dance is more popular than ever and the mainstream American television audience is primed to become patrons and supporters of ballet and concert dance. Having ballet represented on this national platform is crucial to growing and developing new audiences as well as inspiring people from young dancers in training and professional dancers to people who have never taken dance classes but have always wanted to or who have left dance and want to start again.

We will be performing Live this Wednesday, February 2nd , at 8/7c on CBS. Please watch and if you feel moved then please vote for us ‘White Tree Fine Art’ after the show. Every single vote counts! The winner of the competition and $500,000 is decided entirely by audience vote.

Call or text up to 10 times each, they’ll show the number at the end of the show, and go to http://www.cbs.com and vote online up to 25 times per e-mail address. The online voting is open until Thursday morning, but the phone lines are only open for a few hours and you have to vote according to the Area Code on your phone! If you have an east coast area code, you need to vote at the time that those phone lines are open even if you’re on the west coast.

Thank you so much for reading and please help us in get the word out! Please pass this email along and/or add it to any e-mail list you may have access to.

Thank you for your support and love, we’re going to dance our hearts out for you!

Love,

Nikki Trerise White and Ethan White
