 July 17, 2025      njads

At Not Just Another Dance Studio, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to dance—regardless of financial circumstances. If you’re facing financial barriers, you may be eligible for Jumpstart or KidSport—two fantastic programs that can help cover tuition costs for the 2025–2026 season.

Whether your dancer is taking their first class or returning for another season of growth and joy, these programs are designed to make participation more accessible.

🏅 Jumpstart Grants

Provides up to $600/year per child for sport or physical activity programs, including dance. Children must be 4–18 years old, and families must meet low-income requirements. Programs must run at least 5 weeks, with one session weekly.

🎽 KidSport Hamilton

Offers up to $250/year for recreational programs and $300/year for competitive ones. Funds are paid directly to the studio.
