End of Year Performances – always original and the highlight of each year!
JPSD is not just a ‘ballet school’, we offer all dance styles, so it is important to be inclusive of all. We do not put on ballet productions such as The Nutcracker, but productions that have themes. Parents and other audience members over the years have always provided wonderful compliments about the entertainment value of JPSD end of year performances. Below is just one comment sent to JPSD after the performance in 2022.
Congratulations Jan and the team on Saturday’s performance. It was brilliant, the precision timing and presentation certainly did justice to your hard work and teaching method. If you recall it was my wish for my granddaughter to learn new skills and have a beautiful time. It exceeded all my dreams and when the ‘birds’ flew out onto the stage to that very familiar music I felt a tear roll down my face.
Thank you Jan – from one very proud Grandad.
All our themes are original. 2024 will see us produce our 34th EOY performance
