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! |
