From the owner: JMBS teaches dance using an Arts Education standards and curriculum. At JMBS we identify and…read moredemonstrate movement elements & skills as well as use correct terminology. We teach choreography principles as students use dance as a way to create and communicate meaning. Critical and creative thinking skills are developed by involving students in problem solving during dance class. Students learn about various cultures, music, and historical periods and make connections between dance, other disciplines, healthy living, and how the body moves. Our focus is on artistry, performing, and technique where students take ownership, make goals, and develop a joy of dance. Students work together as a team, and are taught to encourage each other and be happy for others in their dance goals. Students find and believe in their own unique creative expression. True self worth and a positive image are the outcome.

I have known Heidi for 40 years and my daughter danced at her studio for quite a number of years…read moreand loved every minute of it. Heidi always treated the girls as if they were her own. We always traveled with the group and had a great time. I have never come across a more genuine, caring and giving person. After reading some of the reviews I am broken hearted that people are posting these outright lies because I know Heidi and I feel that someone very ugly is behind this. Heidi and Brett are the most amazing people. If some of her former dancers are posting lies might I say to them don't forget what Heidi did for you!!!!

The instructors truly focus on technique and strength, especially through the beginning years of…read morepointe. Karen R. (one of the reviews) was exaggerating the truth when she talked about her grandson. I was part of the recital that year, and he was so cute! Though he did not get as much stage time as he deserved, he was dancing for the majority of his class's number. He was a ladybug with the most adorable collared shirt. He was the only male in the class, and his dance was almost exactly like his classmates. For the recital, be warned, the performance has always been held in June, and measurements for the costumes are usually taken in December. If your child is growing at a rapid rate, be sure to ask them to "be a little bit bigger" for the measurements. Most classes generally begin to learn their dances in January or earlier, depending on the class. In my experience, anyone below the pre-pointe class has one dance with his or her class, and then performs in the opening and grand finale. For those starting pointe, Miss Penny sells shoes for around $60. (believe it or not, that's really cheap!) however, she only sells a few styles, and only Capezio. In your child's first year of pointe, I assumed that at least one of the three days each week would be spent on regular ballet slippers, but this is not so. From the very first day with pointe shoes, a pupil will be dancing on pointe shoes for one hour. Yes, in the beginning it does NOT feel good, but I truly believe it has led me to grow stronger, value physical effort, and live a healthier lifestyle. If your child does not feel fitted to Miss Penny's Pointe shoes, I would recommend Puttin' On The Glitz, which is located nearby. They are very knowledgeable and have a great selection. For regular slippers, I would recommend Revolution Dancewear's shoes with a stretchy middle. These allow growth, both because of the stretchy middle, and the leather, which can expand half an inch, maximum. Mine lasted me three years, while I was growing. Though Miss Penny can seem intimidating, she does not mean to be, and does not instruct the younger students. She begins teaching pupils once a week when they start in their first year of pointe, with younger instructors doing the other days. The younger teachers are also in charge of the younger classes. For the younger classes, there is the teen instructor that has gone through careful scrutinization, and then there is a student teacher, who can be anywhere from 10-14. As for the number of days per week, I believe that young classes are taught once a week, and I know that starting in pre-pointe, 2 days is the norm. In beginning pointe, there are 3 days.

I danced with this studio for three years (from 2010-2013). I learned a lot and remember the first…read moretwo years very fondly. However, the management is simply atrocious and unforgiving, especially considering this is for K-12 dancers who have other commitments. In November of 2012, I was accepted to go tour Washington, D.C. on scholarship with my United States Representative. Obviously, that's an incredible and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Unfortunately, it meant that I was going to miss a Ward Christmas party performance. I told the management in October about my trip. Nothing was done about it and two weeks before the performance, they were scrambling to find someone to learn my position. Instead of cooperating with me, I was replaced on the High School team that I had tried out for and paid to be on by two Jr. High girls (the daughter of the costumer and her best friend) not only for the performance that I missed and the following concert (which I would have understood, because I missed the penultimate practice as well), but for the remainder of the year. It was absurd. Despite my complaints, the manager would do nothing. In addition to this, my brother joined a team for a semester in 2012. The coach decided to choreograph in a somersault... at 6'1", my brother's physique is not able to easily do somersaults. He was hurting himself just trying. The coach wouldn't change the choreography to accommodate his team, and the manager would only lecture my brother for not doing it. Eventually my brother was literally kicked off of the team because he wouldn't 'cooperate.' I would look elsewhere for ballroom dance lessons.

The school is now in its 10th year of business. My girls have done well in elementary school. They never struggled with reading or math, or making friends at school. I do believe enrolling them in a good ballet school has a lot to do with it because ballet teaches memorization, repetition, practice, confidence, be social, and permission to be creative. Highly recommend this place for your child. Older students are respectful and good role models around the younger students. Everything at the school from costumes, choreography, and music are age appropriate At the younger levels it's more of music and movement lessons, getting kids to enjoy dancing and overcome stage fright. As they get older they stay in class longer learning more ballet. The school now offers acro and musical dance theater as add-ons to ballet lessons. They also do Disneyland parade trips, you don't have to be a student at the school for the Disneyland parade. Haven't done the Disneyland trips yet or MDT but the girls do like acro. My favorite though is... END OF YEAR RECITAL The end of year summer recital is NOT TO BE MISSED. 5 star, 2 thumbs up. Each production gets better and better each year! If you never enroll your kids here, at minimum go to the CBC end of year show, well worth your time to go. It is usually held the 3rd weekend in June for two nights. Location varies but they will put that info out on their instagram page. The CBC productions are fun and kid friendly, since they dance to music from Disney movies but also have nods to excerpts from traditional ballet productions of Alice & Wonderland, Beauty & the Beast, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Little Mermaid, Rapunzel & Aladdin! The owner is a professional choreographer, so instead of just seeing routines of each & every class one after the other, the owner integrates several levels together in some of the performances during the show; younger students would be like the corps de ballet doing their dance while the older students do their solos and pas de deux. You need to watch in person to understand this. It is beautiful and unforgettable to watch, just like a professional ballet production. I'm impressed with the creativity and thought put into all the performances. Several of our family and friends come out to attend and say they enjoy it better than watching a Broadway show, hah! Obviously it's student run, they're not professionals but they have so much joy performing and work very hard to prepare. Absolutely buy tickets to support the students who work so hard and dance for the joy and artistry of it.
