Hi Everyone. It has been a long time. Everyone at Jersey Dance is doing well and getting through Covid in the way that works best for them. We hope you are doing well also. We wanted to give an update on the studio. Jersey Dance is going to start reopening (which is super exciting)! That being said we will be doing it in a limited way while we make sure all of our procedures are in place. First, we will start with only private lessons only. I would imagine groups and socials may still be far out but we will have to see what the numbers look like over time. Initially, all students will be required to be vaccinated and must show their vaccine card and sign a waiver. Janie and Michael will be teaching at the Arts Center starting in the next week or two and everyone must be vaccinated and must wear a mask right now in the Arts Center. Donna and Skip will be teaching at our alternate site in Hamilton starting in early June. Masks and vaccine cards will also be required there also. Over time, I will make a call when I feel like we can be more liberal while protecting our instructor and students safety. If there are any questions or if you are ready to start lessons, please reach out to me at [email protected] or reach out to your teacher's directly. We look forward to taking these first steps toward normal at Jersey Dance.

Hello All. I hope everyone is safe and preparing to make the best of the holidays. It has been quite a while since last post but the Jersey Dance team is still doing well. We hope you are too. We are looking forward to re-opening the studio hopefully sometime in the spring of 2021.

In the meantime, Alexa is willing to do a weekly Latin Fusion via Zoom. This was mentioned a couple of months ago but I wasn't able to get it off the ground for various reasons. If you are interested, check in below or email us at [email protected] to let us know you are interested. No charge but we need to know people want it to do it.

Either way, we would love to hear from everyone below to let us know how you are doing. We think of everyone often. Start thinking about your Fall 2021 showcase songs! Best wishes for the holidays!

Hope everyone is well! A couple of updates:

We are considering opening for a limited # of private lessons a week starting August 1st (taught by Skip & Donna only) Initially, this will be for long term students only with open packages. Strict COVID procedures will be put in place which I will detail before we start. There are unfinished things that have to come together for this to happen so I can not promise but I want to gauge interest. Email me at [email protected] if you are interested or reply here. Keep in mind that we may limit the number of students in the beginning until everyone is comfortable and then scale up.

We are also considering bringing Alexa back to teach her Latin Fusion class ONLINE once a week via ZOOM for existing students or regular attendees. There would be no charge for this class but you would have to register to get access to the class. Please let me know if you would be interested in attending.

I will have another new line dance to post from our incredible choreography duo soon. I believe it is Cha Cha. Hope each of you are practicing the videos we posted earlier.

Finally, Skip may start up his own weekly online class in early August. Keep a lookout for this class!

Stay safe!

We want to take the time to thank everyone for supporting us during this not so great time to be a dance studio. We appreciate all of those who reach out to us (and all of those who have left their lessons open with us). You are making it possible for us to stay in business and reopen stronger than ever. While it is difficult to know when we can get the studio back open, it is comforting and brings us happiness to know all of you will be there when we do. We promise we will give back to all of you when we get back open (and we will reopen!) Missing everyone!

Hello, fellow dancers!
As many of you know, our own Michael Graham, in addition to being a wonderful dance teacher, is also a talented artist.
He has now made many of his beautiful works available for sale, in the form of prints and other items (tote bags, mugs, tshirts, etc.), at affordable prices. Originals are also available.
You may especially be interested in his dance paintiings.
Easy online shopping - have a look!
We will continue adding more works, so come back often.

Found this one in the archives. She will most certainly be missed. 💕

Here Skip gives us some good Foxtrot technique for you to think about and practice while we can't be together. Hope all is well with everyone! Enzo Ascari

We will return.

We had an idea to create "Dance Snacks" which would be 3 or 4 minute classes to quickly add a little something sweet to your dancing. They would be quick classes where you don't have to watch someone try to teach a class online for 45 minutes. Skip tried it with Donna and well, we didn't quite make our three minute goal. However, as a first attempt, we did get this great video with lots of things to help your East Coast Swing dancing. This video covers subtly in lead, body alignment, space, step size and dancing into the floor in one amazing, super educational video. Hope you enjoy!
