At JJ Dance Arts, our recreational program provides students with the opportunity to learn foundational dance skills in a supportive, encouraging environment.

Creative Movement: Age 3-4

Level 3: Age 11-12

Creative Movement
Creative Movement is an energetic and engaging class designed especially for preschoolers, introducing them to the joy of dance in a playful and supportive environment. Young dancers explore basic ballet steps and foundational movement skills while building strength, coordination, and flexibility. Through imaginative games and musical storytelling, children are encouraged to express themselves freely and instinctively.
Ballet
At JJ Dance Arts, our ballet classes blend the beauty of classical technique with the joy of movement and music. Rooted in the Cecchetti method, dancers build strong posture, balance, and coordination—developing grace and body awareness that supports all styles of dance. Through playful yet structured exercises at the barre and in the center, our students learn to move with both creativity and control.
Jazz
Jazz is an exciting and high-energy dance style that blends the precision of ballet with the rhythm and flair of contemporary dance. Students develop strength, flexibility, and musicality through dynamic warm-ups and across-the-floor exercises. With big moves, bright energy, and even bigger smiles, jazz is the perfect outlet for high energy kids who love to express themselves through movement and performance.
Lyrical/Contemporary
Lyrical and Contemporary dance blend elements of ballet, jazz, and modern, with a focus on storytelling, mood, and intention. Dancers bring music to life using expressive gestures and dynamic contrasts—like stillness and motion, or softness and strength. These classes help build versatility, musicality, and emotional range, while reinforcing strong technique. Ideal for dancers with prior ballet or jazz experience, they’re a powerful outlet for those who love to move with meaning and perform from the heart.
Hip Hop
Hip Hop is a high-energy street dance class rooted in rhythm, musicality, and personal style—keeping dancers moving and engaged from start to finish. Classes focus on authentic hip hop foundations that build coordination and stamina, while encouraging creativity, individuality, and freestyle exploration. Whether students are grooving with attitude or hitting clean, sharp isolations, they’re developing confidence and connecting to the beat.
"At JJ’s, our children truly feel seen and valued...
They feel encouraged to express themselves freely through dance, constantly inspired to push their boundaries and grow in their art.
The culture at JJ's is one of genuine support, focusing on nurturing each dancer’s personal goals while building a unique and inspiring community."
