Mrs. Lawrence and Miss Monica are teaming up once again this season to deliver a pointe curriculum that challenges, inspires, and helps our senior dancers grow in skill and artistry š©°
At JLSD, we believe that working together makes us stronger. With two pointe classes each week, one with Mrs. Lawrence and one with Miss Monica, our senior dancers have the opportunity to learn from both teachersā perspectives, teaching styles, and expertise.
We canāt wait to see where another season of focused, inspiring pointe work takes our dancers š

FAQ time! š¤ Can we watch class every week?
To encourage independence, every dancer regardless of age will enter the studio independently of their caregiver(s). As such, while you cannot watch your dancersā class(es) on a weekly basis, there will be ample opportunities provided for you to come watch classes and/or performances throughout the season šš

FAQ time! š¤ What is included in your fees? We know that cost is an important factor, so let's talk about what our fees cover.
We're committed to providing a well-rounded and enriching dance experience for your dancer, so our fees cover much more than just lessons. They include a recital costume, tights, and earrings for first-year students, plus our OnStage package: a recital t-shirt, video access, and a memory book filled with photos from our season! Note: Any exceptions to this will be outlined in the class description.
We also host community and parent/caregiver appreciation events throughout the year, like hot chocolate in the winter and fun prize giveaways, to build a strong sense of community among our dance families.
We hope this provides some clarity - thank you for your continued support and trust in us! š
