Here's what JSOD students and parents have to say about us:

"Jacqueline has taught me that a little kindness goes a long way. Over the years, I have seen Jacqueline let kids do their routines over during recital if the music gets messed up or something goes wrong with their dance because she wants her students experience on stage to be a good one. I decided to write about this because my mom talks about it a lot, and she and I are both very grateful to Jacqueline for giving me a chance to dance."
- T. Fante-Coleman, Student

"We joined [JSOD] many years ago after researching the area and found that you offered exactly what we wanted. And you have delivered."
- W. Mackwood, Parent

"JSOD is truly my home away from home. I was taught so much more than just how to dance... how to feel, how to express, how to dream, how to live... And that's only the beginning."
- T. Prince, Graduate

"Dear Jacqui - We first want to thank you for all that you have done for us this past year. Each one of us has grown as dancers and we have you to thank for that. You are an inspiration to every dancer at this studio and words cannot express how grateful we are. The effort that you put into each one of our dances is visible, not only in the dances themselves, but also in the emotion and feeling each one of us has and carries throughout the piece. We feel that you are not only our teacher, but also our friend. With your remarkable talent, personality, commitment, and integrity, you have shown each one of us how truly amazing you really are. Thank you for pushing us to great lengths and thank you for being an inspiration to everyone you meet."
- Advanced Seniors (2009-2010)

"Thank you for taking us to NYC and letting me be apart of the best experience ever !! I learned so much and realized how much I truly love to dance. I am so grateful for the opportunity and I can't wait to do something like that again."
- E. Baron, Student

"Thanks so much for turning a bunch of uncoordinated guys into a dancing squad! Julie and I are so glad to have found you and we glad you were excited by our idea. Your creativity in the piece really showed and it was a great hit at our wedding. It was amazing fun! Thank you so much."
- D. Leung, Client

(On Glee Club @ Camp Dance 2010) "Peyton loved every minute of every day. Hopefully it is offered again next summer. Definitely 2 thumbs up!!"
- A. Smith, Parent

"Jacqueline, I just arrived home from dancing and thought I would send you a quick note. I just wanted to let you know what a great job you are doing with the girls. Vanessa loves going to dance!! There is never a day where she says do I have to. She has made such great friends and whenever I stand at the door of your room and watch and see that big smile on her face I know she is where she should be. Keep up the great work and know that you are making a difference in all of our children's lives. It is a great relief to know that my child is in a safe environment with many positive role models around her. Thanks again."
- Nancy Oishi

"Dear Jacqueline, thank you for a great year! We were hestitant about going the competitive route but it has been a wonderful experience for Rachel (& me!). She dances from the second she is out of bed now! Most of all thank you for continuing with your vision that dance should be fun, you certainly score A++ there!"
- J.Whitnall

"Dear Jacqueline, it's hard to believe that yet another year has passed! Thank you once again for everything that you do. Megan had a great time- and enjoys coming to dance! Thanks for providing a great 'dance' environment- we really appreciate it. Enjoy a great summer Jacqueline. Best regards."
- Jeff and Laurie Clements

"Dear Jacqueline, thanks for a great year. Your recital sure brought back wonderful memories for me. Took me back when I started out. Great show! Not too many people know what it takes to put on such a well organized production. Hats off to you!!
See you next year."
- Andrea Thomas

"Dear Jacqueline, thank you for helping us to make it through the weekend. Without your kindness, patience and compassion on Saturday morning I don't know what we would have done. Sorry for the extra grey hairs we gave you. Also that you for getting the "gold medal" shoes on Monday. What a disaster, but with your professionalism and kindness we made it through."
