Fall 2025 Class Schedule

Fall Registration will open on Wednesday, July 23rd at 10:00am

You can now find your 2025-2026 Fall Recommendations as a Log-In message in your Jackrabbit Parent Portal… Jackrabbit Parent Portal   These are manually inputted one by one, so it takes us a few days to get them all into the correct portals – Jackrabbit doesn’t allow for a single release day/time so you may or may not have already seen yours before today. 

Please carefully follow these recommendations when enrolling in classes as these are directly from your 2024-2025 teachers and Studio Director.

Email buffadance@msn.com if you are interested in any other classes not listed in your recommendations. Jackrabbit requires you to register for your Dancer’s recommended level. If you register for another level not in your recommendation list, JR will remove your dancer from the incorrect level and place the dancer into the correct level. If you sign up for an incorrect level and do not want the correct level where JR will place your dancer – our two month minimum still applies to the class. Please email buffadance@msn.com to ask about levels or genres outside of your recommendations.

Instructions on how to enroll in classes are available below for both new and returning students!

Important info on policies and fees can be found on our registration website and have been updated in your Jackrabbit Parent Portal! You will be prompted to agree to these upon enrollment. They are also listed in the 2024/2025 Studio Handbook linked below.

Helpful Hints from Buffa’s Dance Studio for Registration

1- Children’s Classes (DM3, ADM4, DI5, DII6, PB7 and TJ7) tend to fill up quickly – if you have a specific day or time we recommend registering early. You may also put your dancer on Waitlists – as we try very hard to get every dancer in a class even if it is on a different day or time. 

2- If you have a Recommendation in your Portal for a Specific Class with a One Single Specific Day and Time – (for example, Ballet V Thur 6:15 LM only has one single choice of day and time) you will have a spot in that class for you to register for the first week. After that time we will open the class to other students who may be new or students who have done class trials. Please put yourself on the waitlist if it is already full within the first week and we will add you on our end.

3 – If you are interested in a FULL class, please feel free to put your dancer on a Wait List. There is no charge for Wait Lists and you will be emailed if a spot opens up. 

4 – 2025/2026 Rhinestones and Crystals – A spot will be held for you in the 2025-2026 Companies to register for the first week. Please add your dancer to the Wait List if the company is already full on JR and we will add you. After that time, we will open the Company to other students on the waitlist who wish to join.

5 – Check on your Dancer’s School Grade and School on Jackrabbit… we have auto-advanced everyone but we would love everyone to check JR, especially if they are now out of Pre School or changed Schools

6 – If your dancer is interested in other genres that are not listed in your 2025/2026 Fall Recommendations – please email buffadance@msn.com so we may set up a Summer trial or ask teachers and our Director before registering. 

7 – Any registration questions… email buffadance@msn.com and we will be happy to assist you.

Things to Keep in Mind While Registering

• Please make sure to carefully read and understand all Contracts and Waivers before enrolling in any classes – we are upfront and transparent in ALL our policies including important dates. We want our dance families to be assured of this. 
• If you are a returning student, please enroll in your recommended classes and/or Level I of new genres. If you have a question about your recommendations or are interested in a new genre and would like a recommendation, please send us an email and we will assist you in selecting the best fit class for you! We carefully monitor registrations to make sure each dancer is in the best place for growth and technique.
• ****Please be extremely careful when selecting classes in JackRabbit–this software is not like an online “shopping cart”. Friendly reminder that you are considered enrolled as soon as you click “ENROLL” regardless of whether or not your card has been charged, and all tuition and class change fees will apply.****
• Flyers are linked here for our BDS Rhinestones and Crystals performing groups! If you are interested in our Diamonds, Dance Company, or Ensemble performing groups, please email us for more information on requirements and auditions.
