Joanne Langione Dance Center

Celebrating over 46 years of bringing quality dance education to our community... We encourage them to find their uniqueness and what dance means to them.

At Joanne Langione Dance Center, we care, most of all that each and every student learn to dance in an atmosphere of love and support. We adhere to our mission of creating a “community based school” educating our students to the many ways in which a proper dance education can inform their lives: creating life-long lovers of dance whether a student chooses to dance professionally or whether they dance simply for the joy of it. Our students become leaders in the world of dance: professionally, intellectually and spiritually as performers, directors, choreographers and educators. Every aspect of our program supports our core values of good training, work and fun. Our instructors constantly challenge students to hone their natural talents and encourage them to compete against their own sense of excellence. Founded in 1976, JLDC is, by conviction a “school that creates the well-rounded, diverse dancer” with curriculum tailored to develop in our students proficiency and versatility. Building on a classical foundation, our students train in modern and contemporary peaking their intellectual curiosity, self-motivation and capacity for hard work. Much time is spent training but we believe that creating, composing and performing are important tool for our students to develop and discover talent. Ours is a gathered community, in which students with different interests, talents and perspectives come to express themselves.

Industry-trained.
And now, she’s bringing her experience to JLDC.

We are thrilled to welcome Jordyn Starkovich to the JLDC faculty!

Jordyn spent her college years dancing on Boise State University’s nationally ranked Dance Team. And her senior year? National Champion in BOTH D1A Jazz and D1A Hip Hop.

Her experience extends far beyond the competition floor. Jordyn has trained with industry professionals across the country, completed teacher training in Los Angeles, and has spent years teaching and choreographing dancers of all ages.

Now working at Harvard Business School, Jordyn brings an incredible combination of elite dance experience, performance knowledge, professionalism, and a passion for education to our studio.

Years of memories, milestones, performances, and countless hours spent together in the dance studio. For years, we had the incredible privilege of watching these sisters grow up together dancing.

As we begin a new dance year, we’re taking a moment to look back on one of the many families who have made JLDC part of their story.
