“JJ DANCE ARTS trains dancers to think beyond the dance studio walls.

As one would expect from a dance studio, the performers are technically trained in all styles of dance…and THEN they are taught a bazillion other things like: performance for stage/screen, how to dance for camera, choreography, videography for dance, and perhaps most importantly how to demonstrate inclusivity, kindness, empathy, self-confidence. 

I am always happy to present them at castings to directors and producers. When I am lucky enough to hire a JJ DANCE ARTS dancer, I know they will knock it out of the park.”

Through JJ, they learn to be open minded, open hearted, accepting and brave. Everything the next generation should be, and a perfect reflection of JJ’s values and principles. I’m inspired every time I’m lucky enough to interact with them.”

“As a professional choreographer and movement coach, the audition preparation series in their first term offers valuable lessons and experiences because it maximizes the transition from student to professional.

JJ Dance Arts leads the way in providing a clear pathway for aspiring professional dancers. She brings in a wide variety of guest instructors who are not only incredible teachers, but have the industry credentials to hire her students one day!
