Classes are organized according to age and experience on both recreational and competitive levels. Our Twinkle Toes dancers start as young as three years old while there seems to be no limit to the ages of our adult dancers.JSOD's success is due to the fact that we treat each and every one of our dancers and their families equally and enthusiastically.

From Twinkle Toes to the most advanced teens and adults, all students are encouraged to reach their highest potential and achieve excellence every step of the way.Our annual calendar begins in September of every year, but we do accept new enrollment on an ongoing basis throughout the dance year, provided there is space and the inclusion of new students does not disrupt routines.
