At Joy of Dance we believe every child should learn to ballroom dance.
It is the perfect dance to teach vital life skills. We don’t want any obstacles
to impede the way for a child interested in learning ballroom dance. The
Scholarship Program was developed to eliminate these obstacles. If you have
a child interested in ballroom but have an obstacle then fill out the form and
let’s start talking about how to make it happen.

JDS: Joy of Dance Scholarship Program
The Joy of Dance Scholarship Program (JDS) offers kids, tweens and teens the opportunity to explore the joy and community of ballroom dance in a way that is fun, safe, and taught by professional and experienced teachers. We believe every kid should have access to fulfilling their potential and are committed to providing that opportunity. In this program kids are constantly learning and progressing in a way that allows them to be themselves.
They learn technique and style as well as how to express their feelings through the art of ballroom dance. We also provide mentoring and place a great deal of importance on team building, respect for others, oneself, as well as character building.
Scholarship program is offered for the following kids dance classes and age groups:
