Attendance

The only way to excel at something is to work at it on a regular basis. Regular attendance is important to each student and the class as a whole. If it is necessary for your student to be absent, please call the studio and advise us in advance. Make up classes are available for students ages 3 – 6 and some Level classes. Please be ready, dressed appropriately, and be on time to your classes. Please notify us as soon as possible if a problem arises with your student and any classes. After all, we are here for you!

JSOD follows the holiday schedules of Baylor University and most Waco area schools. When one-day holidays fall on dance days, your dancer may come to another class closest to his/her level that week. JSOD does not issue refunds for holidays. When a student is sick or misses class due to another schedule conflict, he/she can make up that class on another day in a class closest to his/her level. JSOD does not issue refunds when a student misses a class due to being sick or other schedule conflicts.

Dance Recital

Our dance recital will be held on June 15 - 16 at Midway Performing Arts Center. The studio will hold extra afternoon rehearsals the week of the recital. Dress rehearsal is on Saturday for the entire cast. We have 4 shows, afternoon and evening shows on both Saturday and Sunday. Students ages 3 and 4 only perform in one afternoon show. The shows are filmed and parents have the opportunity to sign up for a DVD of the show at the studio and at recital. We do charge a recital fee per student that helps cover the cost of renting the fine facility and the cost of producing a large scale show.
