✨New Summer Program at JCA✨
Every summer, if your dancer does not go into a dance summer intensive or continue to dance the entire summer, their technique declines. As a result, we have a very difficult task in August to rebuild, in hopes to get the dancers technique back on the same level that they were for the summer break, so that our hard work continues.
Hence, JCA Summer Classes!
