2026–27 Season

Season Calendar

Every date that matters this season, in order — the first day of classes, holiday breaks, payment and costume deadlines, and the June recital.

The year at a glance

Classes begin Wednesday, September 9, 2026 and run on a ten-month season through June, with no classes on Halloween, Thanksgiving weekend, winter recess, Easter weekend and Memorial Day weekend. Snow days follow Woodbridge Township schools, and make-up classes are available.

The season ends on stage: costumes are ordered in December, non-recital classes wrap at the end of April, and our annual recital is in June — optional, and the moment most families remember all year. Summer classes follow.

    If the township schools close for weather, so does the studio. Saturday classes are canceled if there's more than an inch of snow — call the studio if you're unsure. Make-up classes are available.
