As a fair warning- the owner of the company continues to use Google Business to remove all negative reviews of her company, and there have been a lot. Cross posting to this forum and any other that requests a review because potential customers should be aware what they are getting into. As I've told anyone that has asked- if you value quality dance instruction or good people- JMB Dance Academy is not the place for you. We are generally new to competitive dance (less than 1 year), but have been in the dance world for four. I have never seen such a level of weaponized incompetence as I did at this studio. In our mere three months of official affiliation with the studio (about 6 months overall), I saw things and heard things that have my mind spinning about how they are still in business. I've got all the receipts from many families - lots of receipts - about practices that are abusive at this studio. My sweet child was not victim (that I'm aware of) of the larger than life insecurities of the studio owner, but that's because I was almost always there leaving limited opportunity for that to occur and my child is one of those kids that will come home and report every single detail. The text messages, the photos, the allegations about this studio and the owner from existing or former parents either mean that the studio is full of dance moms drama that would rival Dance Moms on its worst day or this woman is just pathetic and sad. They might both be true, but that's neither here nor there. The greedy money hungry business model might bring in dollars today, but it's not sustainable. The parents at this studio aren't stupid- yet so many have been so careless as to drag this studio in ways that are simply too full of detail to be made up. It's my most sincere wish that they stay at JMB for as long as they can pretend to stand it. For my own experience- after discussions, emails, and calls with the studio owner that neglected everything from safety concerns to allegations of abuse, I pulled my daughter without second thought. It's one thing to have shoddy premises with nails sticking out of the floor and cockroaches in the bathroom every time you open the door, it's another thing to lack basic decency, let alone professionalism. After pulling my daughter for safety concerns, the studio owner sent me a letter from an attorney alleging that I owed her several thousand dollars for a "broken contract" that had no consideration to begin with. Meanwhile- she owes me costumes and $1000 of pre-paid expenses that she never incurred. I haven't fought the money at this point because the most important thing to me was to get my child as far away from that place as possible and preserve as much of her first season of comp dance as I could. JMB was a 7 min drive to my house and I now drive my daughter 50+ minutes each way 3-4 days a week to an environment that nurtures her soul, her spirit, and her passion for dance. read more

I couldn't be happier with the progress my daughter has made at this dance studio. The instructors are not only talented dancers themselves, but also incredibly patient and encouraging with the students. The studio has a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere that makes my daughter feel comfortable and excited to learn. The variety of classes offered at the studio allows my daughter to explore different styles of dance and continue to challenge herself. The recitals and performances organized by the studio are always well-coordinated and showcase the hard work and dedication of the dancers. I appreciate the communication and organization of the studio, as they always keep me informed of class schedules, upcoming events, and any changes that may occur. The studio truly goes above and beyond to create a positive and supportive environment for all dancers. Overall, I highly recommend this dance studio to anyone looking for quality instruction and a fun, enriching experience for their child. I am grateful for the growth and joy it has brought to my daughter's life. read more

I wholeheartedly support my wife's review and can second the experiences with JMBDA. While we were initially impressed with the owner's organization, the need for that level of organization made sense upon realizing the sheer number of lies, backstabbing, and excuses that was taking place. I have never seen the kinds of things said about JMB and the owner by dance parents ever before in any organized activity or sport. There is a vicious culture that is bred and encouraged and apart from my wife's criticisms of this place, that is just an extremely unhealth dynamic for anything where young children are involved. If you are also suspicious of a bunch of reviews from current families all posted the day after my wife's review, you can find out from current families that she is asking everyone to write a review to affect the rating and try to hide the bad reviews. She's even offering a prize to those that write a review! read more

JMB Dance Academy has been a transformative experience for my daughter over the past 3 seasons. Having only a brief stint at another studio prior, her growth here has been remarkable. The studio's family environment fosters not just dance skills, but invaluable life lessons like discipline, hard work, and commitment. Despite the occasional familial disagreements, the love and support among parents and staff create a nurturing atmosphere. The bonds and friendships she's formed are truly lifelong, and the dedication of the teachers is evident in their knowledgeable and caring approach. It's heartwarming to see how they treat all the dancers as if they were their own. In essence, JMB Dance Academy is more than just a studio; it's a place where relationships flourish and potential is realized through love and dedication. read more
