WHAT ARE AUDITIONS LIKE?
Let's get the scary part out of the way! Auditions shouldn't be scary! We run it like a class. We teach, you do, we watch. You can ask questions, you will never have to do it alone. Auditions are important for you to also see if WE are a good fit for YOU. This process works both ways. The "class" will be progressive starting from advanced beginner level and working its way up to advanced. We do this because this is ONE audition for TWO different teams. You audition once and then we place you on the team that we think matches your appropriate level. Feel better now!? Hopefully :)

Audition date : Thursday September 5th  7:30 - 9:30pm.
WHO WE ARE?
J&L Dance Studio, run by Jenna & Luis, is an all-inclusive, diverse, strong group of all ages and backgrounds training hard to be well-rounded humans and dancers. We strive as a team to improve our dancing, both on stage and in social dancing, while also making an impact in our community to unite love with dance. Since beginning our partnership in 2013, we have become well-known in our community and beyond for emphasizing the power of fundamentals. We believe in a positive, drama-free, family-like environment with everyone working together to improve themselves as individuals and as a team. We are very excited to continue growing our family.
