Welcome and thank you for your interest in Jacqueline's School of Dance (JSOD). JSOD has been an established dance studio in the Durham region since 1984. Our current location offers four bright, spacious, and climate controlled studios that operate six days a week. Our instructors are fully qualified members of the BATD (British Association of Teachers of Dancing). They are professionals who continually educate themselves with new, innovative styles and techniques.We offer unsurpassed instruction in ballet, pointe, acro, jazz, tap, highland, musical theatre, hip hop, and lyrical, focusing on technique and musicality. Classes are organized according to age and experience on both recreational and competitive levels. Our Twinkle Toes dancers start as young as three years old while there seems to be no limit to the ages of our adult dancers.JSOD's success is due to the fact that we treat each and every one of our dancers and their families equally and enthusiastically. We recognize that our students are eager to learn dance skills and technique while at the same time remembering that everyone wants to have fun and feel good about themselves. JSOD has built a reputation as being a home away from home for our dancers.Jacqueline's School of Dance has been the recipient of the prestigious Ajax Pickering News Advertiser Readers Choice Award for the Best Dance Studio five times since its inception 6 years ago. Our dancers have shown their support, as have their families. We are very proud of this award as well as the successes of our annual spring Showcase Dreams Do Come True, the marks of excellence during our BATD student examinations and the achievements of our Competitive and Elite dance teams that travel and perform across Ontario as well as internationally. From Twinkle Toes to the most advanced teens and adults, all students are encouraged to reach their highest potential and achieve excellence every step of the way.Our annual calendar begins in September of every year, but we do accept new enrollment on an ongoing basis throughout the dance year, provided there is space and the inclusion of new students does not disrupt routines. We welcome new and experienced dancers to join us. Watch this site for class and registration information updates in the late spring and early summer.Another great way to introduce yourself to dance is to spend a week at our exciting Camp Dance which takes place during the summer. more...
