Arrival and Transportation Students arriving by car should check in at the Snakedance Condominiums. Students arriving by air should fly into Albuquerque Airport. You MUST arrange your flights so that your arrival time is BEFORE 3:00pm and your departure time for your return flight is AFTER 11:30am. Students MUST wait at their arrival gate until a Jillana School Representative comes to meet them. Representatives will have letters of identification and will be wearing a Jillana School t-shirt. The Representatives will accompany students on a shuttle bus to the Ski Valley. Shuttle busses will take cash or a credit card. Students flying out at the end of the session will again be accompanied by Representatives via shuttle to the airport and to their gate. Counselors and Nurse Students are supervised by an experienced group of counselors. The counselors are with the students everywhere: condos, classrooms, cafeteria, field trips, etc. Most counselors are dancers themselves and have been working with Jillana for 5 or more years - in fact, many are former students of hers. A registered nurse or EMT is on call. Phones/Internet Not all cell phones will have service in the Ski Valley. Check with your provider before bringing your phone. There are phones in most rooms and pay phones conveniently located around the village. There is an Internet connection at the studios but it is NOT available to students.
