Molding passionate, purposeful, professionals
embodies our commitment to shaping dancers who are not only technically skilled but also driven by a deep love for the art form. Passion is at the core of everything we do — we cultivate an environment where dancers are inspired to push their limits, embrace their creativity, and pursue their dreams with unwavering enthusiasm. Purpose is integral to our training, as we encourage our dancers to understand the deeper meaning behind their movements and to perform with intention, whether on stage or in the studio. Ultimately, we aim to guide every dancer toward becoming a professional, not just in skill, but in mindset — fostering discipline, respect, and the dedication necessary to succeed in the competitive world of dance. Through this holistic approach, we empower dancers to grow into confident, capable, and purpose-driven artists.
What Makes Us
Different?
We know you have several options when it comes to dance studios, but rest assured Kim Jay Dance Company is more than an average dance studio. We are a community and pay special attention to making sure every single child feels seen and a part of something bigger. We put a heavy emphasis on promoting healthy living and academic excellence outside of the studio as well.
KJDC embraces inclusion, diversity and equality, and that is what makes Kim Jay Dance Company a place that you always want to return to year after year. We constantly recognize students with awards and special spotlights throughout the dance season in an effort to encourage great behavior and dedication. We regularly coordinate student events centered around the importance of giving back, spreading positivity and/or fun and safe socializing and bonding. All of this and more is why Kim Jay Dance Company is a place that you will be able to call home, even long after leaving.
DANCER OF THE MONTH
Zola Pomare, 6 Years Old
After just one year at KJDC, Zola has already made a big impression on our dance family! Her favorite style is Acro, where she loves to tumble and show off her fearless energy. Zola doesn’t shy away from her teachers’ strict expectations — she understands they push her because they believe in her and want her to excel.
At only 6 years old, Zola has already achieved a huge milestone by earning a spot on the KJDC Company Team, and she’s beyond excited to start competing! She dreams of becoming a teacher someday, whether in dance or academics, and finds inspiration from her older sister Yuri and her favorite teacher, Ms. Kim.
When things get tough, Zola keeps it simple and strong: “I just keep going.”
We’re so proud of your perseverance, positivity, and passion, Zola — keep shining!
