Students are always encouraged to be the best they can be, and regardless of age, gender or ability, everyone is part of the same "Team Joze!".
Jo says, "Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of watching thousands of dancers grow — not just in technique, but in spirit. I’ve celebrated every leap, every turn, every first skip and this has been part of a journey I will cherish for the rest of my life. Together, we’ve created something truly special: a place where children took their first pliés, teens found their confidence, and lifelong friendships were born on and off the dance floor; Thank you".
