A Few Things To Keep In Mind...

As we get closer to the show, additional recital information can be found HERE on the recital website, or more class specific items may be emailed to you.
Parents and students need to know the following information: Your class style & level, class day and time, the name of your teacher & the name of the dance (i.e. "Jazz I, Wednesday at 5:00pm, Miss Jackie, "Where's The Party").
Please be sure you are staying in the loop regarding important information. Our goal is to make the recital an organized, exciting experience for everyone involved. It's a team effort; students, their parents, the class instructors, and the studio directors are key players in the show's success.
Your account must be current and outstanding balances paid before recital, or participation will be denied.
The recital is not a one-day activity. Gather all costume pieces, accessories, and shoes several days in advance so you'll know if something is missing.

Why Herstory?

Did you know? Each season we select our Recital theme over a year in advance! As a women owned and operated family business, we wanted to highlight the achievements and stories of women in history and culture which are often under-represented. At JCDA, we welcome with love and open-arms students from all faiths, ethnicities, abilities, political affiliations, gender identities, socioeconomic backgrounds, etc. We believe that recognizing the accomplishments of women in history is something ALL people should celebrate! We hope you are as excited to celebrate the stories of these amazing women as we are! If you are offended by this theme - you may just have the most to learn from it <3
