Student Mentorship

Professional Development and Mentorship at JJ Dance Arts.

Student Mentorship

Mentorship is embedded into our work at JJ Dance Arts, offering an enriching experience for students in grades 9-12.

Our mentorship opportunities empower Senior and Graduate Class students to take the lead coaching technique, assisting faculty, and help cleaning choreography, while also receiving compensation for their time. 

This opportunity provides them with hands-on experience to share their current knowledge of executing choreography with technical proficiency, and also the skill of communicating notes with clarity and encouragement. 

These mentorship experiences not only create confidence in our dancer’s ability to lead a room but the time spent together inspires role model relationships across classes within the program. 

“I love that JJ is able to give me the opportunity to mentor the younger students. it allows me to build closer relationships with our team and practice the skills needed to become a dance teacher."
