✨ Recital weekend is officially underway! ✨
Last night’s leotard rehearsal was an absolute success. We are incredibly proud of our dancers for working so hard throughout the evening to prepare for the big stage. We loved watching our dancers support each other backstage. It was a great reminder of why we say, “it’s so much more than dance”!

Tonight, we take it up a notch with Dress Rehearsal! We can’t wait to see all the dedication, passion, and hard work our dancers have poured into this season finally come to life in full costume.

⚠️ Important Reminders for Tonight:
Chaperones: Dancers are permitted a guardian backstage/in the dressing room to help with costume changes tonight.
Audience: All other family and friends, please save your energy for the big show! Recital is tomorrow (Saturday) night at 4:00 PM.
We can’t wait for another amazing evening with our dance family! If you have any last-minute questions, please reach out directly to Ms. Brittany or Ms. Penny.

Our final graduating senior! ✨

Elyse Stachler is graduating from Alter High School this year. During her time at Alter, she was a member of the National Honor Society, earned Honor Roll recognition all four years, and participated in a variety of clubs and activities. She also played lacrosse and was a member of the Lancerette Dance Team for four years. Elyse had the honor of serving as Head Captain during the 2025–2026 season, leading the team through football, basketball (college and NBA), soccer, and baseball seasons.
In the fall, Elyse will attend Ohio University, where she plans to major in Interior Architecture and minor in either Business or Dance. She has danced at JDD for 14 years and has trained in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Musical Theatre, Hip Hop, Contemporary, and Lyrical. Her favorite styles are Contemporary and Hip Hop.
Dance has been a central part of Elyse’s life for as long as she can remember. She has grown up in the studio and has been inspired by many incredible teachers along the way. These teachers not only helped her become a stronger dancer, but also a better person. JDD has taught Elyse how to dance with “heart and determination,” and she will carry that same heart and determination with her throughout everything she does in the future.
