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/Sessional Classes – Select classes perform in the Christmas Show or the June Recital. No festivals.
Full Year Programs – the Christmas Show(December), Stage Rehearsal(March), 1-3 festivals (April/May), and the June Recital
