History

Established in 2014.

JAMA has been a vision since 2005… it has finally come to fruition. The JAMA philosophy comes out of LM’s deep desire to combine dance arts and community outreach. By melding art, music, and athletics, JAMA dancers’ not only find physical fitness but also incorporate and develop their creativity and are free to reach out and explore new talents. Ultimately, JAMA hopes to gain recognition from California as a 501c3 not-​for-​profit dance company and be able to offer scholarships and free classes to local aspiring dancers.
