The programs they offer
“For one reason or another each studio just wasn’t the right fit for my children.”
“I had to take a break from all my activities because of Covid and just returned to dance I am taking private lessons and had a new instructor due to my being away for so long.”
From the reviews
This is our 5th year dancing with J&M Dance Center. Prior to this studio, we’ve danced at 3 other dance studios. For one reason or another each studio just wasn’t the right fit for my children. But finding J&M was a blessing! Mindi is one of the best studio directors that I’ve ever known!
As a teenager learning something new, I expected to have some trouble, but instead I am having a lot of fun. My instruction is not only clear and understandable, but it is exciting.
It is the best dance studio! It’s like a family! I love the atmosphere, the teachers, and the dancers! The owner goes above and beyond for all of her students!
My daughter loves the tumbling class here! We haven’t tried any others yet but have heard good things. Miss Karina is great!
Your first ballet class at J & M Dance Center
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
