Here at JCMDS we simply love to dance and enjoy sharing what we have learned with our students. We strive to provide quality dance instruction through positive reinforcement and encourage our students to know the importance of practice and paying attention to detail.  

Our goal is to improve flexibility, physical fitness, and self-confidence in a fun atmosphere. 
We believe it is very important to stay up to date on current dance trends, there is always more to learn in the dance world! Our instructors travel to dance camps, workshops, and conventions to keep up with trends and to keep learning about the art of dance! ​​

Maycee Fagan
​I began dancing at the age of  5 and continued through my senior year at JCMDS.  I began assisting classes at the age of 8 and continued that throughout my dance years as well.  I was a 3 year member of the FHS dance team and captain of my college team at Northeast Community College.  During my 2 years at Northeast, I taught at Studio B in Wisner. 
My favorite styles of dance are street jazz and contemporary but I have a soft spot in my heart for tap.​

After graduating from Bergan, I attended Midland University where I was active on the competition dance team, game day dance team, and also performed in a handful of musicals. Now I am a fourth grade teacher at DC West Elementary School. I have a passion for dance and for teaching and feel so grateful to be able to combine the two!
