What makes Jackie’s Jammin Studios so unique?  Here’s what our family members have to say:

“Ultimately, Jackie’s Jammin Studios is concerned with the whole person.  The dance experience at Jackie’s keeps Melissa very well-rounded, and it gives her traits she’ll take with her into the corporate world.  She’s learning social skills and teamwork, but most importantly she’s developing self-confidence.  Jackie Loto requires her students to get good report cards, or they don’t participate in events.  Melissa truly enjoys Just Kids, and she gets nothing but straight A’s in school.”

Parent:  Vickie Gonzalez (North Tampa)
Student:  Daughter Melissa (Age 9)

“Jackie’s Jammin Studios is a home-away-from-home.  When we moved from south Tampa to Odessa, Alyssa was very upset.  But she loves it here and wouldn’t go anywhere else, so the drive everyday is definitely worth it.  Valerie (Cordell) and Stephanie (Mastro) have made remarkable changes to the studio, and I implore anyone who’s visited in the past to come back and take another look – you’ll be amazed at the change!  One real difference with Jackie’s is the skill level of her students, and that’s obvious in events when they’re compared with kids of the same age from other studios.”

Parent:  Terri Goodwin (Odessa)
Student:  Daughter Alyssa (Age 9)

“I can honestly tell you that, after moving back to Tampa and returning to Jackie’s Jammin Studios, Olivia is doing so much better in school, and her self-confidence has improved.  Valerie and Stephanie are wonderful and have done wonders with the studio.”

Parent:  Theresa Taylor (South Tampa)
Student:  Daughter Olivia (Age 7)

And comments like these about our girls sure does a heart proud:

“Thank you so much for participating in the Junior League's Holiday Gift Market. This year’s market was a huge success, due in part to such great performances as yours. Your Just Kids performing group did an amazing job. Your girls surely outdid themselves, please let them know that. They possess such great showmanship and charisma. You can certainly tell that they enjoy what they do. Again, thank you and I wish Just Kids the best of luck.”
