“My daughter is approaching her 5th year at JJ Dance Arts and the growth she’s experienced is nothing short of exceptional.

Most impressive is seeing development that extends far beyond the technical realm and encompasses a strong belief in herself and her strengths, embracing failure as part of the process, and self-defining her own vision of what success looks like for her. These are invaluable lessons that she will carry for life! Melissa invests countless hours mentoring, coaching, and creating connections for her dancers. She goes above and beyond daily and truly cares about her team. Last, Melissa creates a culture of belonging and inclusivity. During the tough teenage years, I am so thankful my daughter has a warm and accepting home away from home. Thank you, Melissa, for welcoming our daughter into your amazing studio family and we look forward to many more years of growth and success.”

“JJ Dance Arts is a fantastic studio for any dancer to be a part of.

The program focuses more on building a solid dance foundation which students can use for a career in dance (whether it be performing, teaching or cheorography). This contrasts other studios which are competition focused and as a result, (with the strong leadership of the studio director), this creates a safe, supportive environment for its students to learn and grow as dancers. Our daughter loves it at JJ’s and as a family it is one of the best decision we’ve ever made to have her a part of this program.”

“JJ Dance Arts is a one of a kind studio with a very unique dance program.

Melissa JJ Moore models professionalism, respect, and kindness in her teaching. She provides guidance to her students to strive to the best of their abilities. Students get the privilege to work with the amazing guest teachers and industry professionals. Simply THE BEST studio out there!”

“I have nothing but gratitude for the personal time JJ has invested in my dancer to support with the demands of post-secondary applications for professional dance programs both in Canada and the USA.

JJ takes the time to deeply understand each dancer to mold their training to ensure it’s personalized to their growth and development. 

Because of JJ’s encouragement of student choreography, my dancer has been able to build new skills and challenge herself beyond the technical training. The opportunity to create her own competitive routines has been so rewarding. And as parents, we are so proud to see such growth.”

“We feel so very fortunate to have found JJ Dance Arts.

Our daughter has been dancing with JJ for several years and, over that time, we’ve seen tremendous growth in her technique and abilities. The studios unique and refreshing approach to training provides dancers with many opportunities to present their work throughout the year, not just in competition season. However, what truly makes JJ Dance Arts so special is the positive and supportive environment that has been nurtured by JJ and championed by faculty and students alike. It’s truly a group of wonderful humans who demonstrate the upmost respect, support, and love for one another. We could not be happier that our daughter has JJDA to call her dance home.”

“I would highly recommend JJ Dance Arts to any parent looking for a nurturing and professional dance studio for their child.

My daughter has been part of this unique program for almost 3 years now and we are very impressed with the high standards and creativity of the program, it’s a fantastic place to learn and grow as dancers and individuals. JJ’s small size classes allow personalized attention from their teachers. The curriculum is so different from other studios, it’s structured with three Terms, Community events, competitions, TV & filming exposing the students to a variety of dance styles, keeping them motivated & challenged through the year. We are very proud to be part of JJ’s family.”

“Last year we made a difficult decision to move from a beloved dance studio to explore the increased challenge and unique dance training model offered by JJ Dance Arts.

As we round out our first year at JJ’s we couldn’t be more thrilled with our decision and experience. The caliber of the dance training offered at JJ’s is incomparable with a roster of highly skilled teachers and choreographers. The training, while challenging, has also been supportive and individualized. It has been the perfect combination to foster hard work and continuous growth. Melissa has cultivated an environment that is welcoming, inclusive, safe, and fun and it has been such an incredible first year for our family.”

“Dancing at JJ's Dance Arts has been the most fortunate of decisions that was made for my son.

it is important to note how selfless and committed Melissa is to her students. She builds each student up and pushes them to pursue their dream regardless of what that means. 

We have been incredibly lucky to have Melissa in our lives and I am proud of who my son has grown to be while under the love, care and tutelage of Melissa JJ Moore. Thank you so much Melissa!
