“Being surrounded by a prayerful, worshipful, and faithful community played a huge role in bringing me back to the Lord. It’s not just a studio; it becomes a family.”

- Teri Petersen, JPA Parent
“Miss Rachel invests in each dancer to ensure they feel confident in class. We have loved Joy for over ten years.”
- Alisha Gyger, JPA Parent
