If schedules don’t work for you, please see Directors for alternatives.
Due to limited capacity, early registration is encouraged. Please note class times and sizes may change throughout the year. Students will have the option of registering for classes in person (with strict health & safety guidelines in place and following the Governor’s capacity restrictions) or on Zoom. If you would like to attend on Zoom, please register for the normal class AND register for “ZOOM” which is listed as a separate class. (You will not be charged extra, but this will flag you as a Zoom dancer in our system.)
Note: some classes will be held in our new “JODC Annex” near the studio in the former Orca Books space which will allow for more space for classes. A detailed health & safety plan will be emailed to all students upon registering and is also available upon request.
