TESTIMONIALS

“The grace with which you handle difficult situations is amazing. Those are the values and skills that make JiM worth every dime we spend. You guys are our village in raising our girls and are the adults we want them to emulate.”

Thank you for creating a space for me to come just as I am and helping me imagine where I could go.

I knew joy In motion was special but I wasn’t sure how or why. Thank you for always thinking about the kids and not only their dance but also their social and emotional states. It is so refreshing to have someone really take the time to think about the kids and how to help them learn from their experiences and understand better their points of views and why they do certain things.

Your organization makes a difference. You create and foster an environment that has BROUGHT HAPPINESS AND JOY TO BOTH OUR DAUGHTERS. I dont know what you did before JiM but so many people will grow and have memories of this place. It will shape the future.
