Edit: I’ll pass any messages posted here on to Jean ❤️

I am so sorry that it seems a lot of my Saturday pupils and parents found out that the school was closing through social media never my intention at all .... but we live in the social media world now ....invited people to come along so I could tell everyone face to face and explain the many reasons behind my decision. The club is not in any state that I feel would be comfortable or more importantly safe for anyone. I have asked Sam to let anyone who requires a copy of the letter sent to the club to let you have that separately xx thank you all for all being part of JM'S family however long you have been dancing # # # I am always available if you need me for advice on schools in the area ...we have loved every minute of our 38 years with you all and will miss you terribly 🥰🥰🥰

Just to let you know we are here all day today. Come and see Jean and us girls please. We will post again later to update everyone on what is happening at the dance school. Sorry if you heard second hand. Jean wanted to see everyone in person rather than write a post here xx

FRIDAY WELCOME BACK!!!! JM's reopening night is Friday 24th September... New dances for everyone # # # 7.15pm first class 7.45pm for other classes ... price £6.00 per child .. please look at the last pinned post for full details, info on Saturday classes and any other requests ....can't wait to see you all xx Jean and the girls

A message from the boss 😊

Hi all more informative info for our reopening on Friday 24th September and Saturdays on the 9th October. If you need more information not included in this message please contact Jean on 0161 881 8768 or 07786791675.

FRIDAYS.

The classes will now commence at 7.15pm for the first class - 7.45 for the middle and last classes.
We would appreciate that pupils be dropped off and picked up where possible. If parents do have to attend only one person to bring the pupil/pupils. There will be no alcohol allowed in the ballroom, but after checking with the club you are welcome to go into the bar downstairs and have a drink there whilst you wait for your child's class to finish. There will be no sweets or crisp on sale in the ballroom drinks only.

Hand sanitisers will be at the entrance to the ballroom, before anyone enters the toilets and in the toilets. PLEASE USE THEM. Only one person allowed in the toilets at any time.

If you are a mask wearer please wear the mask on entering the school and when leaving, or whenever you feel comfortable.

The price of classes from the date we reopen will be £6.00 per child.

I hope everyone will understand that we are trying to keep all pupils, parents and staff as safe as possible in these very unsure times.

SATURDAY CLASSES

Saturday classes will resume as normal from 9th October --- much the same format as previously. Again the less parents in the room the better but we do understand the need for parents/guardians to be with particular age groups particularly the Tiny Boppers class/Rosettes.

Rosette classes price will be £5.50 and the older classes £6.00.

Same rules as above apply with regards to drinks, masks, toilets, hand sanitisers, and sorry mums and dads no tea or coffees being sold for the immediate future.

Mums and Dads that need more info on times for the different class on a Saturday please feel free to phone me on any of the above numbers.

Sorry so long winded and boring but we are all very excited and happy to welcome everybody back to JM'S and some sense of normality ...... although I haven't changed much, still bossy, very annoying and gorgeous ..... see you all soon.

Jean and the Girls. # #

A message from Jean

Hi my lovely mums, dad's and pupils .....
Just to let you all know I will be giving out your medals from the March test in 2020! Sorry you have had to wait so long.
The car park of the club is where I will be on:
Friday 23rd April between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Saturday 24th April between 11 a.m. and 12 noon.

If you know anyone not visiting our page can you please let them know or collect the medals on their behalf. I can't wait to see you all socially distancing of course! The good news is the club is definitely reopening so as soon as we are allowed, with permission from the International Dance Teachers Association (our governing body), we will obviously try and sort out pupils attending safely and professionally. Hopefully I will soon be able to give you all more information and welcome all my lovely pupils back love and big hugs Jean # #

❤️❤️👋👋

A happy new year to everyone from Jean and the girls.

Sending lots of love for a better 2021 🥳🥂❤️
