Dance has been around as long as mankind and many, many years ago was often used as an affirmation of loyalty, to a particular person, religion or nation. Today, dancing is still considered to reflect the society in which it exists and that is why in our 21st century societies, there is such a wonderfully wide diversity of dances and styles.

Most people love to dance, and any would love to be able to dance better than they do. It's an activity which can be enjoyed in small or large groups or on your own, it's entirely up to you.

However, should you wish to improve your dancing or want to learn new styles from scratch why not enroll for dance classes or private dance lessons with the Jody Marshall Dance Company based in Balcatta, Perth?

With a reputation for producing dancers that have made highly successful careers performing around the world since the company was established in 1976, JMDC is regarded as one of the premier dance studios and schools in Perth.

From Hip Hop to classical ballet and from jazz to acrobatics, students of all ability levels, including beginners are welcomed at our dance classes, so no one should ever feel out of place.

And age is no restriction to enjoying and learning dance either; the JMDC 'Boppers' class is for toddlers from the age of 2 upwards, and introduces children to the concept of moving in sync with music - and elsewhere in the classes, some of the students are in their 80s!

The dance teachers, many of whom were previously students at JMDC are all qualified with diplomas covering all styles of dance and offer disciplined training but in a fun and friendly atmosphere; family values throughout the organisation ensure that continuing generations keep coming back to JMDC.

When you dance, your body releases endorphins which increase feelings of happiness and pleasure, lifting your mood and enhancing your feelings of self-worth.
