BlueJay Dance Program


Dance - Youth -
Fall 2025

The BlueJay Dance Program offers classes in a variety of different styles for anybody aged three and up.  Included in the cost of every class is instruction, recital costume, and a group picture.

For the fall session, the recital rehearsal will be held on December 19th and the Dance Recital is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 20th in the Performing Arts Center at the Waseca Junior/Senior High School.  

If you have any questions, please visit Ms. Jennifer during the dance open house scheduled for Thursday, August 21st from 5:30pm - 7:00pm in the Main Dance Studio- room 242 of the Central Building; Enter through Door N12.

If you are paying by credit card, the option of utilizing a payment plan is available.  The option of paying in full at the time of registration still exists (check, cash, or card), but we are also able to offer the ability to spread payments out over the course of the Fall session.  By choosing the payment plan, the first of four equal payments is charged to your card at time of registration, with the final three payments automatically charged to your card on Oct. 1, Nov. 1, and Dec. 1.  Once you register, you are committed to all four payments as they will automatically be charged on those dates. It is your responsibility to ensure your payment methods are up-to-date. Your child will not be able to participate in the recital if your payments are not paid in full. Please reach out to the Community Education office if you're having trouble paying; we're willing to work with you!

Also, if your student qualifies for free/reduced lunches and has a current application on file, they are eligible to receive out Youth Development Grant. Please stop in to the community education office to fill out an application prior to registration.
