Our Philosophy
At JSD, we believe that every child brings something unique to our studio. Our staff instills personal confidence, self-esteem, and technique, as well as also helping each student reach their highest potential in the art of dance.
Our philosophy is "Never say I can’t, always say I’ll try". We want our students to leave every class feeling good about themselves and knowing that they have gained a sense of confidence that they can take with them through life in whatever career they choose to pursue.
Our Classes
JSD has a class for the student who just wants to take class once a week for fun and exercise - or - for the more serious dancer. View our available classes here.
