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!
|

(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!

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.
