JD Company began in 2012, when founder Jose Diaz began a Kid's Latin Dance Class in Long Beach, California. The class quickly grew into multi-level teams and age ranges, all learning the same technique and the largest variety of dance styles you'll find anywhere. We are the only all-ages Ballet Folklorico and Latin-based dance company in Long Beach, and we are proud to have worked with our community at various local events and have partnered with MOLAA (Museum of Latin American Art), the Arts Council for Long Beach, the African American Center for Long Beach, the City of Long Beach, the Cambodian Association of Long Beach, the Getty Center, Agape Children's Museum and more.
Regular performances include venues such as the OC & LA County Fairs, Pan-American, Puerto Rican, Cuban & Dia de los Muertos Festivals, the Celebrity Centre in Hollywood, among numerous regular community events. We regularly compete in Ballroom, Latinx, and National Dance Competitions, and are 4x National Champions!
JD Dance Company is unique in that we specialize in a wider variety of dance styles and education. Latin (Mambo, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Cha Cha, Cumbia, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Bolero, Rumba, Samba, Country 2-Step) and Smooth (Argentine Tango, American Tango, Foxtrot, Waltz, Viennese Waltz) Ballroom, Jazz, Ballet Folklorico, Hip Hop and Bellydance are some of the many rhythms our students learn and in which they perform routines as a team, with a partner, and/or in solo spotlights. Many of our routines feature fusions of different styles, such as Hip-Hop-Mambo, Hip-Hop-Bellydance, Jazz-Mambo, Samba-Salsa, Salsa-Bachata, Bolero-Salsa, and much more.
Our class schedule for both kids and adults is always listed on our Classes and Event Page and is occasionally subject to change due to performances and/or unforeseen conflicts.
