About J & D Dance Academy in Reading, MA
J & D Dance Academy of Reading continued to concentrate on the performing arts and added the newest style of dance, Contemporary to the schedule. We welcome Jamie Bergin to the staff this year, and she will be teaching many of these contemporary classes. With the rise of dance in the media, the formally 'non-competitive' J&D Dance Academy of Reading found it needed to have an outlet for its dancers who had the desire to be on a team and compete in dance-J&D Performance Groups were created and are beginning their fourth season! Competitive dance brought Miss Erica to our staff! A former studio owner herself, Erica teaches three full days of Contemporary, Ballet, Tap, and Jazz, as well as our popular Technique classes at J & D, and also choreographs the Performance Group competitive routines.
