You’re invited to join
Dancing for Joy’s Nativity Show! 

All dancers must be enrolled in at least one regular class at DFJ Bellingham or Lynden.  Students need to be 3 years old or older by Sept. 27th.  All students that come to the casting day will receive a part in the show. Missed Casting Day and would still like to participate? See our FAQs below.

 

FAQs – Nativity Late Enrollment

Can we still join?
We’d love to include as many dancers as possible! Please reach out to our office, and we’ll check with our Performance Manager. It depends on costume availability and where your dancer would fit best in the cast. Just a heads-up: sometimes dancers may need to repeat a role they’ve done before, depending on space and costumes.

Is there a late registration fee?
Yes, there’s a small $30 fee to help cover the extra shipping and administrative work needed for late additions.

When’s the latest we can decide to join?
All dancers need to be registered and cast by Friday, October 3rd. Unfortunately, we can’t accept new participants once rehearsals begin—thanks for understanding!
