From the reviews

I cannot talk highly enough about Jennifer and what she has created with JAM Dance Academy. If you’re in the Cleveland area and looking to take dance classes, this is the place to go.

★★★★★ — Tyler, Oct 2020

Jen, you and your JAM Academy kids and Ballet Legato group did a wonderful job. The hard work and dedication shows. Please do not allow those who do not know how recitals work diminish what you did today.

★★★★★ — John, Jun 2023

We were at a different studio for 2 years, I changed my daughter over to JAM 2 years ago and it was the best decision I have made. They have completely taken my daughter in and accepted her with open arms. The amount of structure this studio has and appropriate discipline for all ages it’s incredible!

★★★★★ — Megan, Aug 2022

We switched from a different studio in February of this year and I couldn't be happier. My daughter is learning so much and has grown in her dance skills from where she was before. The classes, studio structure and even the rehearsals and recital are exactly how it was for me when I used to dance.

Your first ballet class at JAM Dance Academy, LLC

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
