MEET THE DIRECTOR
My name is Janie Charocopos (Owner and Director) and I’m here to give you all the information you need to integrate into our fun-filled little family. I welcome you all to our 10th Season! These are very different circumstances but we are here to ensure you, we can continue to do what we love; DANCE, safely!
Our Mission
At J'Danse Studio we want to give every child an outstanding
experience, every time they walk through our doors. Our aim
is to help each student foster a deep passion and love for
dance by creating a safe and supportive space where they
can explore the art of self-expression through movement.
While enjoyment is the name of the game, hard-work and
discipline is an important prerequisite.
Studio Space
At J'Danse Studio, our modern studios are designed for maximum
impact. Full-length mirrors. Sprung floors. ballet barres in every
studio equipped with tumbling mats. We want to give every
student the tools they need to succeed. All spaces are equipped
with hand sanitizer stations + cleaning before/after classes. See
our Covid-19 policies for a comprehensive outline.
Other Resources
Choosing a studio is a big deal and we know you may have a
couple of niggling questions about class times, fees, uniforms and
more. Our 2021 Information Guide is designed to give you all the
details you need to answer those little questions. If you have any
further questions please don’t hesitate to email us at
Mrs Janie has a keen eye for detail and is a sought out
choreographer. We routines often win the top competition awards.
Thank you for joining our JDS Family! We're excited to see you soon!
Love,
Mrs Janie C
