Company Expectations
Our company dancers are trained in all genres of dance to be prepared for whatever they choose to do beyond their years at JMSD. We teach in a nurturing and kind environment.
All Company and Jr. Company dancers go through a mandatory audition. Through audition scores dancers are selected to be apart of The Company.
What to expect as a Company or Jr. Company dancer:
The Jr. Company/ Company dancers are expected to respect one another and learn to appreciate that each person has something special they bring to the group. Speak favorably of one another and always keep opinions you share with other dancers positive. Dancers are expected to behave with politeness, courtesy and respect to faculty, staff, and peers.
Classes
Jr Co/Co dancers enroll in their placement classes (placed through the audition process) by completing a registration form.
Required Classes Elective Classes (choose 2 or more)
(2) Ballet classes Pointe (if recommended)
(1) Jazz Contemporary
(1) Modern Lyrical
(1) Tap Musical Theater
Hip Hop
Attendance
JMSD expects all Jr Co/Co dancers to have excellent attendance. Dancers are to arrive on time to your classes and be prepared. Dance is a physical activity that requires the body to be properly warmed up. Therefore, students who arrive more than 10 minutes late may be asked to observe class for safety reasons.
If dancers will be missing class due to illness please call the office so we can get the message to your teacher. If you have a planned “excused absence” please complete an Absence Form in advance. If you miss dance for an extended amount of time (three days or more) for illness or injury, please bring a doctor’s note to the office. We want to know when your dancer is healthy and can safely return to participating. Students are expected to still attend classes and observe while recovering from an injury.
