The time is finally here for J.M.P Dance Company auditions! We are so excited because this is the first year we’ll have open auditions! We are looking for intermediate to advanced dancers who have a strong work ethic, a great attitude, and are eager to learn.
The J.M.P Dance Company is a performance group (not a competition team) based in Kent, WA that provides young Artists the opportunity to learn, grow, and perform utilizing real world experiences and mentoring as a platform. Students train weekly and take specialized classes taught by experts/professionals in various fields they may not normally have access to in their regular dance setting. The skills our Artists learn are applied through real life performances and real-world experiences throughout the year.

The J.M.P Dance Company was created to help Artists improve not only as performers, but also as people. Company Artists are a diverse group of individuals that come together as one unit to learn and grow from each other while building meaningful relationships. J.M.P strives to be a catalyst to help Artists find and seek out their goals and dreams no matter what they want to do or become!
- J.M.P rehearsal times are Sundays from 4pm-6pm at Allegro Performing Arts Academy. We do have extended and extra rehearsals for events and performances.
- We are not a competition team and do not compete in local dance competitions, so competition dancers don’t need to worry about conflicts of interest!
- We do accept a very small number of apprentices each season!
