We are now just two and a bit weeks away from Everwood, and the excitement is really building! 🎟️ Ticket Sales – Let’s Fill the Theatre! I would be so grateful if everyone could help support the school by selling tickets to family, friends and neighbours.

Dear Parents, Happy Monday, everyone! 😊 Firstly, thank you all so much for your speedy costume payments yesterday! It really is appreciated and means I can now get on with ordering everything we need for Everwood. I am still unsure why some parents receive all my emails and others don't, so I will have a proper look into this after the show when life is a little less hectic! In the meantime, I always share our blogs on both the JADance Facebook and Instagram pages, so as a l

Dear Parents, Firstly, thank you to the many parents who have settled their costume payments by the deadline of 25th September — it is very much appreciated. I have checked all the payments again today and, unfortunately, we still have over half of our students with outstanding costume payments. I was hoping to have everything ordered and paid for tomorrow, as I have all the costume information, sizes and orders ready to go. However, quite simply, there are currently too many

Dear Parents, LAST CALL TODAY for costume payments! Today is the final day for costume payments to ensure that everything can be ordered and arrive in plenty of time for our show. Over the weekend, I will be going through all the costume requirements and placing the orders for the students. I have also been trying costumes on throughout this week to check sizing, so I have a really good idea of what everyone needs — you don’t need to worry about anything! A huge thank you for

Dear JADance Families, I wanted to send a little reminder about show attendance and commitment, particularly as we are now just five weeks away from Everwood. Over the past week, I have had a few students mention that they are coming to some of the shows but not others, or that they may not be able to attend certain rehearsals. I completely understand that sometimes circumstances arise, and if there is a genuine problem or something you are unsure about, please speak to me as

Dear JADance Families, We are so excited to finally bring EVERWOOD to the stage! After the disappointment of having our original production cancelled, we are absolutely thrilled that we have been able to bring the show back and give our dancers the opportunity to perform in what we hope will be a very special JADance production. There has been a huge amount of work behind the scenes to make this happen, and we are incredibly grateful for your continued support, patience and u

Dear Parents of our Saturday School, I hope you are all having a lovely Friday. I'm sure many of the students have already told you that tomorrow will be our final Saturday classes of the summer term. As so many students are away this weekend, I have decided to keep the Saturday originally set aside for show work and use it next term for Everwood show rehearsals instead. The dance school will therefore be open on Saturday 5th September, and this will act as our replacement cl

Dear All, As you know, our Grade 4, 5 and 6 students have worked incredibly hard this year towards their ISTD Imperial Ballet and Modern Theatre examinations.

Dear Frodsham Monday Dance School Parents, I hope you are all well. After classes today, I realised that the Frodsham schools break up this Friday, whereas the schools at my end don't finish until Wednesday. This means that quite a few children will be away for our final class of term. As our show is getting closer, I think it would be much more beneficial to carry this class over to next term so that everyone can have an extra rehearsal of their show routines together. I'll

Hi everyone, With the very warm temperatures expected this week, I'll need to keep the doors to the small mirrored room open during classes to help keep the space cool and comfortable for the students. I'd be really grateful if Wednesday evening students and parents could continue to use the back entrance when arriving and leaving, rather than walking through the tap classes. This helps minimise disruption to the classes that are already in progress. Thank you so much for you

Just a little reminder that there are no dance classes tomorrow as it's exam weekend. Singing lessons will still be running as normal. We look forward to seeing everyone back in class next week. Please ignore any automated emails regarding lessons tomorrow. Kindest regards, Jennie x
