Other important notes
covid 19 vaccine passport
Dance studios are classed as businesses, not education, and go under the fitness and recreation facility banner. Therefore, we are required by law to sight vaccine passes from any parent wishing to enter the hall and any students over 12 will need to present their passports at the first class of term 1.
parents viewing classes
Parents are now allowed to enter the studio again but I found there were much less distractions during our restricted period which really supported students’ learning, so I am asking parents to please come in and say hi but then leave for the duration of class, with the exception of preschool. I invite parents to come and watch the last class of every term. Any special circumstances will of course be allowed.
Presentation
Please make sure your child comes to dancing with their uniform, hair done neatly, and a drink bottle; and a smile of course!
philosophy
At Jane Pascoe Academy of Dance, we nurture children’s love of dance in a supportive environment and promote good posture, poise, strength and creativity while striving to develop confident, kind and self-assured individuals.
studio location
Presbyterian Hall - 271 Songer Street - Stoke
