Jersey City Ballet, the newest dance studio to open in JC, offers multiple ballet dance courses for all levels, jazz and hip-hop fundamentals and gyrokinesis – a free-flowing technique that puts an emphasis on long circular movements and benefits posture and alignment.
Located at The Brunswick School at 189 Brunswick Street, the space grand-opened this past June. Their mission: to provide serious dance education for people of all ages who either want to dance for exercise or learn in order to audition for a dance company.
