Meet Kim

Dance has been my passion for as long as I can remember, and taking the reins at Dance For Joy over 20 years ago let me build something around what I love most: watching kids grow, both as dancers and as people. There’s nothing better than seeing a student walk in nervous for her first class and walk out a year later dancing with confidence she didn’t know she had. Whether your dancer is here for one class a week or training with our company team, I want you to walk through our doors and feel like you found your community.

What Parents Are Saying

We love Dance for Joy! Besides it being the BEST dance school, the owner Kim and her staff are the most caring, talented, genuine and warm hearted people in the business. I drive from Howell to Brielle so my daughter can be surrounded by great examples for dance and character.

Diana Herring

My daughter has blossomed since joining Dance For Joy. The instructors are not only talented but also incredibly nurturing. Her confidence has soared, and she looks forward to every class!

Emily R.

Making decisions for our children can be tough. We decided on DFJ after rave reviews, and we could not be more happy with how much our daughter enjoyed this year of dance.
