Studio J2 Dance — Local services in Martinsville

I was involved with J2 from the very beginning when they first opened. I danced for the competitive dance team for 7 years and I also became an instructor myself once I was 16 years old up until I was 21 years old. I personally know the owners and I can honestly say these people do this simply because they love it. They put their heart, time and soul into this studio to make it the best experience it can be for children wanting to dance. They offer all different styles of dance styles, from ballet and tap, down to competitive hip-hop. The staff members who teach the classes spend a lot of time coordinating classes based on the children's individual developmental levels and skill sets. It's not like a company that just takes a monthly payment and does the same repetitive classes over and over. J2 recognizes that all children are different and express themselves in their own way. One of the favorite things that all students rave about is the time allowed for "improv" dancing. This is a time where the instructors sit back, play music and allow the group of dancers to freestyle and show what they have learned, while also creating their own dance combinations. As a person who danced for a total of 17 years I can honestly vouch for this studio. They care about dance, but even more so they care about their students well-being and personal growth. These kids develop social skills, sportsmanship attitudes and respect. I've personally witnessed the impact dance has had on children while I was an instructor myself. These kids find their inner confidence, meet new friends, develop a work ethic and learn where dedication will get you in life. I highly recommend trying this studio if you are looking around for one. They have very competitive...

My daughter started dancing at age three at another local dance studio, at age four she was asked to their competition team, she stayed with this studio until she was 15, we felt like she had reached Her full potential, she had competed as a group, duets and solos, in, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, clogging, ballet and hip hop. After a lot of thought and long talks and tears, she decided to leave the studio and start taking a summer recreational class at J2. Let me tell you, it was like going into a dark room and flipping the light switch on!!! The gleam was back in her eyes, the excitement of wanting to go to dance class, dancing around the house and coming home and showing us her new dance moves, our dancer was back in full gear!!!! J2, plain and simple is an awesome , teaching dance studio!!! Justine and Julia are wonderful, the office staff is great, most important,...
