The Art of Movement
Dance is where artistry, athleticism, and personal expression come together.
JSerra's Dance Program challenges students to grow as versatile performers through training in ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, and other styles. Whether new to dance or pursuing advanced technique, students develop confidence, discipline, creativity, and a lifelong appreciation for the performing arts.
Throughout the year, dancers take the stage in three major performances, including collaborative productions with the Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Choir that showcase the power of artistic collaboration across JSerra's performing arts programs.
Students may choose to receive either Fine Arts or Physical Education credit for their dance coursework.

Welcome From Our Dance Teacher
Welcome to the JSerra Dance Program! Whether you're stepping into the studio for the first time or continuing years of training, you'll find a community that challenges, encourages, and celebrates you. My hope is that every dancer grows not only in technique and artistry, but also in confidence, discipline, and the joy of sharing their God-given gifts with others.
— Jacqueline Ward, Dance Teacher
Dance has been my outlet and a true gift from God, fostering my closest friendships and bringing so much joy into my life. I could not be more grateful for JSerra dance for helping shape me into the dancer and person I am today.
