Whether pursuing a career in the arts, or simply growing into a confident, well-rounded athlete, our program uses dance to develop strong artists, leaders & humans. Dineen Arts, we provide a premier training environment for highly motivated young dancers who are committed to pursuing excellence. Whether their goal is a future career in the arts—professionally or collegiately—or simply developing i
nto confident, disciplined, and well-rounded individuals, our program uses the transformative power of dance to cultivate strong artists, dedicated leaders, and exceptional human beings. For many dancers, it feels less like we chose dance and more like dance chose us—and we simply answered the call with passion and dedication. Dineen Arts, are trained with a commitment to precision, while being encouraged to develop their unique artistry and freedom of expression. This is the culture we are building at JDA: a community rooted in purpose, driven by excellence, and united by a shared love of dance. JDA offers four distinct training tracks, each designed to support dancers at different stages of their artistic journey. Placement into a training track is determined through the annual audition process prior to the start of each season. While each track provides opportunities for competition and convention participation, J. Dineen Arts firmly believes that competitive dance is just one pathway to growth. Participation in competitions is not required to develop into a skilled, versatile, and accomplished dance artist/athlete. Our four training tracks include:
Elite Soloist track -
Team Member track -
Elevated Training track - Joseph's Gems trainee
R.A.D. program track - HS Dance Team training
Each track is unique & consists of required regular *weekend core classes, regular private instruction & a **drop-in class requirement per month; among other JDA program events, comp/cons & workshops. This ensures that all JDA students are training with a consistent technical & artistic foundation led by Joseph with positivity & professionalism, while actively pursuing exposure to all kinds of dance offered in the greater Seattle area & beyond.
*Team Member & Elevated Training tracks also have required core class & rehearsals on Wednesdays during the season.
**R.A.D. JDA's aim is to build well-rounded young artists who are both disciplined athletes & professional, warm humans, ready for the big world that awaits them after high school.
