Company Teams

 

JAM DANCE AND FITNESS CENTER is proud of its company teams!  Winners of many diamond, ultimate golds, and platinum medals, our teams are strong competitors at the various regional and national competitions that we attend.  JAM is the proud recipient of many title winners, high score awards, special recognition awards, Judges' Choice awards as well as most creative & innovative choreography and costuming awards!!!!Named by DANCER NEWSPAPER as "the studio that has the most fun!Recent Winner of American Dance Awards Choreographer of the Year and Young Choreographer -- Bridget Perfetto!!!

Our competition season begins in September and runs through until July, ending with a national competition.  We also pride ourselves in our Pre-Competition groups that perform with the JAM Dancers at local festivals and fairs Spring Performances.  Requirements for both Competitive and Pre-Competitive teams are listed below:

Competition Requirements

Child must be registered for a minimum of 4 to 6 1/2 dance classes per week (jazz, tap and ballet).  This requirement will vary based on dancer's age and level.  Payment is expected on time and no balance will be carried!  Extra rehearsals are at the discretion of the teacher only and may take place during a team's technique time.  Specific class requirements may vary depending on each group.  The above is a general guideline only.

Attendance at ALL COMPETITIONS (approximately 5), performances (Great Neck, Bellmore and Dix Hills), street fairs, festivals, etc. is MANDATORY.  Dates and attendance times of scheduled events will be announced in advance.  You will be responsible for your own transportation (carpools are encouraged).  Parents who volunteer to work our Spring Performances may receive a monetary credit toward tuition balances.

All competition team members must stay for the award ceremony at each competition event.  If possible, competition team members are encouraged to stay or return the following day to cheer on and support other JAM teams!

Proper attire MUST be worn in all classes (i.e. bodysuits & tights OR leggings/bike shorts).  No jeans are permitted.  PROPER SHOES REQUIRED!
Black bodysuit and/or tank top & black shorts.  Refer to our Company Letter for further details.

Attendance will be taken every class.  Excessive absences will result in termination from the competition team.  This includes attendance to all required classes as listed in your commitment letter.

Attendance at extra rehearsals is MANDATORY.

We pride ourselves on our unique and creative costumes.  We try to always keep the costs down and the end result always sets us apart from the others. 

Every competition team member is required to wear a JAM uniform -- JAM  t-shirt and black pants.  This company t-shirt will be provided to all team members in the early Fall.

Tuition payments are divided into 8 monthly installments.  Upon registration, a credit card is required to ensure timely payments each month.  You may elect to pay your balance in cash or check prior to each due date.  Costumes costs and competition fees for group dances are included in your monthly installment.  If your child performs in a solo, duo, and/or trio, costumes costs and associated competition fees must be paid in the month they are billed to your account.  Your monthly payment will be adjusted to cover these additional costs.  A late payment of $20.00 will be posted to delinquent accounts.  Failure to pay tuition on time will result in termination from a company team.

Solos, duos, and trios will be selected at the teacher's discretion.  Those students selected for one of the above must plan on attending the national competition in late June or early July.  Private packages must be paid upfront before choreography begins.   Failure to pay tuition on the scheduled dates will prevent the dancer(s) from competing in a solo, duo, or trio level or being selected to do so.

JAM attends a national competition at the end of our season -- usually in early July.  Nationals involve travel and hotel stay.  Attendance to a national competition is encouraged by all team members!

Pre-Competition Requirements:

Child must be registered for 2-3 dance classes per week (jazz, tap and ballet). Payment is expected on time and no balance will be carried!  

Attendance at two (2) competitions as well as performances (Great Neck, Bellmore and Dix Hills), street fairs, festivals, etc. is MANDATORY.  Dates and attendance times of scheduled events will be announced in advance.  You will be responsible for your own transportation (carpools are encouraged).

Proper attire MUST be worn in all classes (i.e. bodysuits & tights OR leggings/bike shorts).  No jeans are permitted.  PROPER SHOES REQUIRED!

Attendance will be taken every class.  Excessive absences will result in termination from the pre-competition team.

Attendance at extra rehearsals is MANDATORY.

Every pre-competition team member is required to purchase a JAM black & red t-shirt, JAM hoodie and/or JAM sweatshirt.  This MUST be worn to every JAM event.

Dancers may be reauditioned or re-evaluated each year and placed in a team of their level.  We discourage joining pre-competition teams based on friendship and/or carpools as situations may change based on each dancer's level.  Attendance will be taken into account when re-evaluating a dancer.
