JERALDYNE’S SCHOOL OF THE DANCE
Jeraldyne’s School of the Dance (JS of D) is the cornerstone of the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company. The school adheres to a holistic dance instruction philosophy and is concerned with the total human being: the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional make-up of each of our students. The development of the physical prowess is only one small aspect of the complete picture. The powers of concentration are strengthened, observations become acute, and souls of the present and future generations of dancers are developed. We encourage, foster and develop an open-minded attitude toward the art form of dance and its related areas. Our experienced and professional staff strives to create an atmosphere of dedication and pride in the arts. Jeraldyne’s School of Dance is committed to allowing the individual growth and development of each of our students, both technically and professionally. Our school offers classes in modern, jazz, and ballet technique from beginning through advanced levels. We also offer a specialized training program for children.
