About Us
Originally founded in 2016 as Jameson & Company, we revamped in 2021 as Jameson Dance Company!
Directed by Natalie Jameson and co-directed by Shawn Vitale, JDC is a fun-filled, family-oriented, and safe space for dancers. We offer training classes weekly in most styles of commercial dance and encourage outside training. We provide master and pop-up classes year-round for dancers to experience as many teachers as possible. We compete mainly in contemporary, lyrical, and jazz, offering teams, solos, duets, and trios. We also do community performances for fun, reminding dancers that dance is more than competitions and trophies. Our activities include a big/little sister program, team bonding nights, photoshoots, a beginning-of-season showcase, an end-of-season showcase, an end-of-season banquet, performances, competitions, conventions, nationals, and more! We are located at Laguna Dance Theatre in Mission Viejo, with plans to open our own studio one day!
