Sparks Preparatory Program

Registration for 2026–27 is open! Our Sparks program will begin in September 2025 and continue through May 2026.

These dedicated dancers take class twice a week and study Ballet, Jazz, and Tap. The Sparks program prepares dancers for a more serious commitment to dance.

Many of our Sparks go on to join Body Talk Dance Company, our pre-professional company. Inquire about enrolling in Sparks for the 2026–27 session by emailing [email protected].

Technique Classes & Body Talk Dance Company

Registration for Body Talk Dance Company is open! Registration for our technique classes is open year-round.

JWSD offers technique classes in ballet, tap, jazz, and hip hop. These classes continue year-round and are attended by members of JWSD's dance company, Body Talk.

Body Talk has 4 tech levels that are increasingly advanced. Non-company members are welcome to register for technique classes, but a dancer's admission is at the discretion of the teacher and Body Talk's company director.

If you're interested in registering your dancer for technique classes or joining Body Talk Dance Company for the 2026–27 session, email [email protected] to discuss placement and/or requirements.
