A HUGE thank you to all our amazing chaperones too!! There were sooo many steps today 😅 and backstage timings were super quick between routines. Alongside costume and makeup changes, we also had rehearsals happening in another space, so it really was a very fast turnaround all day 😅 We are so grateful to every single one of you!!

Thank you as well to all the parents who support their dancers in doing events like these. We genuinely could not do them without you, and we are so proud and thankful for all the support we receive at every event, especially today 💖 We hope the early start was worth it!!

And finally, thank you to all the performers for all their hard work in classes, rehearsals, backstage, and onstage. You are all a true credit to MJDC and we are SO proud of every single one of you!!! 🌟

We hope you all had a lovely day. Thank you all once again 💖

🚨 IMPORTANT STUDIO UPDATE 🚨

Following new guidance from the International Dance Standards Authority (IDSA), we will be implementing the following rules with immediate effect:

🩰 All pirouettes must now finish facing true North
📏 Splits will be measured with a ruler – anything under 180° will be classified as “a suggestion”
🎭 Facial expressions must be submitted in advance for approval
🎶 Dancers requesting “just one more time” will now be granted… exactly one more time (no negotiations)
💨 Leaps must achieve “noticeable hang time” or will be repeated until flight is confirmed

In addition:
• Any dancer saying “I can’t” will automatically be signed up for 3 extra turns + 50 burpees.

We appreciate your cooperation as we continue striving for absolute dance perfection.

Kind regards,
TEAM MJDC (now accepting applause only) 👏

❄️ No classes this evening (Tuesday 6th January) ❄️

This decision has been made with everyone's safety in mind, and we appreciate your understanding.

Thank you for your continued support and please take care in the snow. We look forward to seeing you all very soon, 💖
