New to JA

Welcome to JA Performing Arts

If you're looking for welcoming, professional dance classes in Clacton-on-Sea for children, teenagers or adults, you're in the right place. We provide a friendly and supportive environment where students of all ages can grow in confidence, develop new skills, and feel part of the JA family from their very first visit.

Starting something new can feel exciting, and sometimes a little daunting too. That's why our experienced teachers work hard to make sure every student feels comfortable, encouraged and included from the moment they arrive.

Take a Look Around

Before your first class, take a look at the videos below to familiarise yourself and your child with our studio spaces. Many students find this helpful in knowing what to expect ahead of their visit.

Your First Visit: What to Expect

We want arrivals and collections to be smooth and stress-free for all students and parents.

Drop Off

Please use the front entrance to drop off your child, and stay until they've been met by a teacher. Changing rooms are available if they need to get ready before class.

Pick Up

Please arrive on time for collection. Children are collected from our side entrance, where a teacher will bring them out to meet you.

What to Bring

If your child is attending more than one class, a named bag and water bottle are handy. We also have a designated coat area, so please make sure coats are named too.

We also provide a friendly and comfortable waiting and changing space for parents and pupils to use before and after classes.

Thank you for choosing JA Performing Arts. We look forward to welcoming you to our dance studio and supporting you or your child on your dance journey through fun, inspiring dance classes in Clacton-on-Sea.
