From the reviews

There was a previous review about how long the recital jodie puts on, and saying it was boring. My daughter has been a member of JCDC since she opened 5 years ago, and her recitals are by far the most entertaining in the area. The other review also claimed that there was not age appropriate music for the dances.

★★★★★ — Randall, May 2023

Finding the right dance studio for your child is a big deal. We were lucky when we tried out JCDC the first year they were opened. Our daughter is more shy than most and has made friends like family with the other dancers and teachers as well.

★★★★★ — Thomas, May 2023

This Family is the greatest family there is. My daughter absolutely loves JCDC and everyone there.

★★★★★ — Joshua, May 2023

This is my daughter's first year in ballet and tumbling. She is 2. Jodie is such an amazing teacher and is so patient with all of the children. Jodie is so passionate about teaching dance to all levels of learners. She knows all of her students by name and takes an interest in each and every one of them.

Your first ballet class at Jodie Carroll Dance Company

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.
