1. Do you offer PARTIAL YEAR/RECREATIONAL programs?
Yes! We have partial year programs that run from Sept-Dec and Jan-June. Select classes (Sept-Dec) will perform in the Christmas show. In addition to tuition, there is a registration fee of $62+GST. This option is great if you’re looking for a fun activity with minimal commitment.
2. What is the commitment for FULL YEAR programs?
Full year programs run from Sept-June. Tuition is paid in 10 monthly installments and based on a minimum of 31 weeks. All of the classes perform in the recital and select classes perform in the festivals. In addition to tuition there are costume fees, a registration fee, production fee and festival fees.
3. What do students wear to class and where can I purchase it?
All students are required to follow our dress code. “And All That Jazz” located in Sherwood Park has all the dance gear required for our classes. Please visit the dress code tab to know what to get your child for dance class.
4. Why are parents not allowed to watch classes?
It’s important for every student to get the most out of their dance classes. Having parents watch the class effects students in different ways. We want to provide a safe and encouraging environment for the students with the least amount of distractions. Parents are welcome to observe class during our watching weeks and watch the last few minutes of class at the end of each month.
5. Do students participate in any extra performances or festivals/competitions?
Partial Year Programs/Recreational Classes – Sept-Dec Sessions perform in our Christmas Show. Jan-June sessions perform in the Recital.
