TESTIMONIALS

Here is a sampling of the love we hear from our families and dancers

We have been part of the JCSD family since 2014. It’s a thrill to watch our daughters grow in their technical skills across so many different classes. But even more so, it’s beautiful to see the joy and love that radiates in their movement, something that I know is part of each class they take, each instructor they learn from, and each recital they shine in. JCSD inspires our children to be fearless, strong, passionate, and kind, in dance and in life. We love JCSD!

We have been at JCSD for nearly 14 years. My oldest daughter started in the Tiny Twos class and is now a teenager dancing in many styles. She would rather be dancing than anything else. It’s her happy place, and I attribute that to the environment Junction City School of Dance has provided. Their intentional pursuit of excellence through love and support of each dancer is unmatched. When I drop my kids off I know they’re with people who truly care and will lead with gentleness and respect. My daughter is shy and tentative to try new things. JCSD has made her feel safe and given her the space to grow and connect at her own speed. Because of this careful consideration of her unique spirit, she’s flourished, and I’m so incredibly grateful. JCSD leadership has created something so beautiful in mission and practice. I can’t imagine having my kids dance anywhere else. If I could pick only one thing for my kids to participate in each week it would be classes at JCSD because there they learn not only how to dance but how to love others, to respect authority, and to apply God’s Word in their daily lives.

Junction City School of Dance has been such a blessing to our family. The dance school offers top-notch instruction and provides a safe environment for our daughter to learn multiple styles of dance, as well as leadership skills through the apprentice program. We believe in the mission and vision statement, and have seen our daughter grow and mature as an individual as well as a dancer. JCSD has a genuine heart for our community and seeks to bless others and to promote healing through the fine art of dance. What a treasure to have in our small town!

JCSD is not just a dance school. It’s an extra family for your child. The teachers and staff provide a welcoming environment with a focus on the joy of dance. The atmosphere is professional, supportive, and age-appropriate. At JCSD every child gets a chance to shine! I love knowing that when I drop my child off, she can’t wait to get her dance shoes on, meet her new friends, and dance with her teacher. JCSD wants to see her reach her full potential and learn about the love of Jesus through the gift of dance.

brave enough

Fear keeps us stuck;

Grace whispers freedom.

Fear makes us suspicious;

Grace makes us generous.

Fear shouts doubt; grace sings peace.

Fear murmurs, Look out for yourself;

Grace whispers, You’re not alone.

Fear shouts, You’ll never make it;

Grace replies, You already have.

Fear screams, God is against you;

Grace laughs because love always wins.
