Joann’s School of Dance (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. We have an annual recital in June as well as local performances and workshops. Joann's School of Dance also has a Nationally Ranked Dance Team. Our team recently won the Rising Star National Dance Championship along with over sixty placements and special awards.
Combination Classes Ballet/Tap: This program includes ballet and tap for beginner students taught in a nurturing environment making the introduction to dance fun. It provides the young dancer a strong foundation in dance movement, as well as learning the basic elements of dance. For example, hopping, skipping, jumping, musical rhythm, simplified ballet and tap steps, exercise and coordination skills. Students will also learn intellectual concepts of self-awareness, creative expression, teamwork, and self-confidence.
