Dear Parents,
Thank you for joining us at Dance Jam. We look forward to spending an exciting few days with you and your dancer(s). We know this will be lots of fun and a great experience for all the dancers and a wonderful show for the audience. Dance Jam is designed for all levels of dancers, from beginner to advanced. There is even a category for Future Jammers, where five-year-old dancers are encouraged to perform and shine.
We have provided the following information to help you have the best Dance Jam experience possible. There will be Dance Jam staff at the theatre to assist you with any questions you may have.
