If not, please follow the instructions below to register with our Jackrabbit system. Our 2020-2021 studio brochure is also available via a link in your Parent Portal announcements!

Registration will open on Monday, August 10th.

We will send out an email on Monday with more information. However, please be aware that this software is not like an online “shopping cart” when choosing classes–when you enroll you are in the class. Please keep our recommendations and class change policy in mind while registering.
Thank you so much for your continued support – we are so grateful for our students and parents who have supported BDS for over 41 years in Burke! ~Buffa’s Dance Studio

HOW TO SET UP YOUR PARENT PORTAL:

There is no cost associated with registering your Jackrabbit Parent Portal. We will be posting Fall 2020-2021 class recommendations in your Jackrabbit Parent Portal. We are using this software this year as a work around to our usual paper recommendations.
Link to Register: http://app.jackrabbitclass.com/regv2.asp?id=540847
**Registration Instructions**     

• Click here to register!
• Input family and dancer information.
• Create a password for your Jackrabbit Parent Portal – this will enable you to update billing information, add classes etc, among other features.
• [For multi-student families] Once the first student is complete, select “Add Another Student” and complete this same process for each dancer.
• Accept the Required Policies and Agreements by checking the boxes and signing your name.
• Enter your credit card information (and/or) bank account information. You will not be charged immediately, as we will review each registration individually once we open enrollment to ensure the proper tuition is posted.
• If you have any questions, feel free to direct any questions to buffadance@msn.com.
• Link to Parent Portal: https://app.jackrabbitclass.com/jr3.0/ParentPortal/Login?orgID=540847 Feel Free to bookmark this link

Once we have your student entered into the database we will then go in and post their recommendations in your account. An email will be sent once we have the recommendations set up in your Parent Portal.

In-Person Updates:We are open using Virginia guidelines to ensure social distancing while exercising. This means even though we have 12,000 square feet of dance space as a studio, we only have a finite number of spots available in each class room. We have hardwired for Zoom and made rolling stations and large monitors so Zoom may be accessed while live classes are running. 

BDS Building Updates: Please see the video below for our disinfection process.

We have the Certification posted on the front door as well as listed here:  https://www.cleanmaxva.com/services/corona-virus-cleaning-service/.

We have also changed our Janitorial Services to a larger company Universal Janitorial Services, Inc. who also services Bishop Ireton, Browne Academy, and others to ensure we have new COVID standards in place.

We will email when the final version of Fall is online and everything you need will be able to accessed from our registration portal and all info will also be online at buffas.com.

The post Fall Schedule Coming Soon! appeared first on Buffa's Dance Studio.

Costume Sale: We are excited to announce that we will be holding our annual costume sale again this summer (with a few alterations)! We will be setting up our costumes on rolling racks in the parking lot spaces in front of the studio as weather permits. We will put hand sanitizer and a box for donations in front as well. Please make sure to maintain a six foot distance from anyone else while looking through costumes! Parents, we ask that you remain with your young children while browsing costumes as our staff cannot monitor the area at all times.

Step and Repeat Photos: We have our step and repeat banner and red carpet set up in the lobby! Come by in your 2020 recital costume and take a photo! Please be aware of class arrival/dismissal times and try to stop by when there are not students entering/exiting. Send us an email if you would like to set up a good time to stop by!

Swag Bags: Flash merchandise sale! Stock up on your favorite studio items at a great bargain!

Cash or checks to BDS accepted as well as letting the desk staff know to run your card on file. All proceeds will be going towards our BDS Community as we move forward to reopening. Thank you for your support in these increasingly challenging times – we love our BDS dancers, families, alumni and supporters!!!! We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for believing in us.
As always, please let the desk know if you have any questions!

Here are some fun ways to celebrate our BDS Virtual Recital Via Zoom!

Feel free to get ready just like you would for an in-person show with your costume! Since this is a solo virtual show at home — any hair style of choice is welcome and make up is optional. You will probably want to be recorded at home on phones or other devices during your performance and will take pictures before and after so style yourself in anyway you choose!

Prepare your dance space with room to dance, have a computer with internet access and have a place to invite anyone at home to watch you and film your performance! Ideas include…photoshoots in costume to send to relatives and friends and also to share with BDS on social media! We’d love to see your smiling and dancing faces!
FaceTime the event, or take videos to share with those who can’t be physically with us in our home dance space!

We hope our BDS virtual recitals will be an exciting way to celebrate at home! We are thankful to all our students who are able to spread the joy of dance with an at home performance and are so proud of the perseverance and determination they have put into continuing their dance education.

As a tribute to our 40th dance season, we wanted to tip our hats to all of the dancers’ hard work. Check out our virtual program! View the Virtual Program
