JDA Student and Parent Handbook

A guide to expectations inside and outside of the studio.

Recital

We host an annual recital to show off the incredible talents of our students. Your child will participate in at least one dance per class (with the exception of technique and conditioning/PBT). This event is $8 per ticket, however two tickets per show your child is in are included in your recital fee. You will receive a link to the recital site which needs review upon receipt.

Please note that students must join by January 1 to participate in recital.

Costumes

Costumes will be ordered by December 31. If you join after this date we will work diligently to order you a costume for your performance but cannot guarantee it. Payment is due by December 1. Our costume guide is released in October and includes hairstyles, tight color and style, and shoe color and style. These items are all subject to change due to availability of costuming. You will be informed immediately of any changes.

Shoes

Please keep in mind that specific shoes are required for class and are necessary for practicing skills in the shoe that will be used to perform. Check the costume guide prior to purchasing shoes that will be work in recital to ensure correct color and style. For performances it is important that the shoes are clean and that they fit well in order for the student to perform their best. No shoes that have been worn outside are able to be worn in either studio room.
