"My son LOVES these classes! He arrived the first week feeling shy and unsure and was a little overwhelmed. On week 2 he was full of enthusiasm and couldn't wait to join in. 2 months later he doesn't look back and thoroughly enjoys all aspects of the three different sessions. Jo has done wonders for his confidence, she is very supportive and encourages all the children no matter their ability level. Jo keeps all of the kids focused and makes the classes fun too. So glad we found you Jo!"

Miss Jo is so amazing, she has been teaching my daughter Iris for the last 5 years. Iris loves her dancing and musical theatre classes and her confidence has grown so much in this time and continues to do so. Jo’s classes are fun, creative, engaging and Jo shows so much love and support for all of her students. We were so lucky to find such a brilliant dance teacher who Iris adores.

My daughter has been attending Studio J for the past three years. She goes to ballet & tap, and also jazz. We were new to the area when she first started and we couldn't have been more lucky to find such a fantastic dance school for her. She absolutely loves attending Miss Jo's classes. Jo is friendly, welcoming, incredibly professional, hard working and so fantastic with the kids. She's even hosted one of my daughter's birthday parties which was a roaring success! I really couldn't recommend Studio J highly enough *****
