WANT TO JOIN ONE OF OUR 5 COMPETITION TEAMS?
At JJW we take pride in all we do, including preparing and training your dancer for the competition aspect of dance. Competition is a highly valued part of being a dancer. Although we strive for top honors and high scores, we teach our girls good sportsmanship and kindness. We emphasize proper technique and good composition and choreography. We don't believe that trick after trick makes for an effective and well rounded dancer. We stress to our students to appreciate qualities that different teams offer and invite them to enjoy watching their "competitors" but to see them as friends. We don't just compete as teams, we plan to attend at least one dance convention in the place of a competition. We feel this will expose our students to a positive learning environment where they can grow inside and out - and take classes with others like them who enjoy a professional experience with professional teachers.
