Jazz N Tap Dance Team

Dance Competitions: Our solid reputation for quality reflects our attitude toward competition and our goal to develop in each student a genuine respect for dance as an art form. With the right focus, the experience gained in competition can be an excellent source of self-confidence.

If the dancers feel good about a performance and understand that they become better each time they go onstage then they are truly growing through the competitive experience.

J&T Team dancers are 7-18 years old and take several classes per week including tap, jazz, ballet, modern, and hip-hop.

Schedule: The J&T Dance Team classes begin in July and end in June after the annual recitals.

Performance Opportunities: The J&T Dance Team performs in 3 dance competitions, the J&T Team Show, and 3 Jazz n Taps Recitals each year.
