J&T DANCE TEAM
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.
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.
