Our…read moreseason began with Miss Carly and Miss Kaylee as the lead teachers for pre-ballet, with support from Miss Lily. My daughter was thrilled to have Miss Carly again, as she had loved her class the two year ago. When Miss Carly went on leave in March, Miss Kaylee stepped in seamlessly, ensuring the class stayed on track while preparing for the recital. My daughter is now also a huge Miss Kaylee fan! She has been absolutely fantastic--patient, encouraging, and skilled at teaching the fundamentals of dance to a group of energetic 4- to 6-year-olds, all while keeping it fun. We feel so fortunate to have Miss Kaylee this season--she's been instrumental in keeping my daughter excited and engaged in dance.

This gentle but intentional patience is balanced with expertise in teaching young minds how to understand their bodies and how to move. It's great to see them thriving and learning while having fun. My oldest daughter consistently chooses to take more and more classes. She also had Miss Jessica, who I credit to molding her and starting her on her dance journey, and has flourished under the wings of Miss Vanessa, Miss Felicia, Miss Jen, and Miss Jill. Whether or not your kid wants to do dance for a short time or a long time, you can't go wrong starting here at JJDA.

Through multiple showcases and two recent productions, I've watched my daughter blossom into a confident performer under Ms. Bryck's guidance. While the shows themselves are impressively professional, what truly stands out is Ms. Bryck's ability to connect with and nurture each student. She creates a supportive environment where young performers can grow and challenge themselves. Her loving and kind approach has helped my daughter develop not just as an actor, but as a person. The confidence my daughter has gained through this program is remarkable. Ms. Bryck truly cares about all her students, and it shows in how they develop both on and off stage. We are incredibly grateful to have found this theater company and such an exceptional director who has made such a positive impact on our daughter's life.
