✨ Meet Ms. Sam! ✨
We’re so excited to have Ms. Sam as part of the JDM Dance Family this season! 💜
💫 Her Story
Originally from San Diego, California, Ms. Sam made her way to Texas about five years ago. Her love for movement began at just 6 years old through cheer, dance, and gymnastics. She spent six years cheering competitively before continuing with high school cheer, where she discovered just how much she loved the teamwork, connection, and community that come from being part of something special.
🩰 Her Experience
Ms. Sam has a background in student leadership and mentorship and previously worked in early childhood education as a preschool teacher. She also earned her degree in Business Management, bringing together her love for working with children with the organization and leadership skills she now uses as JDM’s Director of First Impressions.
💜 Why She Loves JDM
Ms. Sam believes movement and belonging can have such a positive impact on a child’s confidence, growth, and happiness. At JDM, her goal is to help create a welcoming community where our dancers, parents, and staff feel supported and connected. Whether you have a question, need a helping hand, or just want to stop by and say hi, Ms. Sam is always happy to help!
👑 A Fun Fact
When she’s not at JDM, Ms. Sam loves being outdoors, hiking, traveling, exploring new places, and trying anything creative. She’s always ready for her next adventure!

Moms of 2, 3 & 4-year-olds… this is for you. 💜
You may think they’re “just dancing,” but at this age, they’re learning SO much more.
✨ How to be away from Mom and know she’ll come back
✨ How to listen and follow directions
✨ How to wait for their turn
✨ How to say please & thank you
✨ How to make friends and be part of a group
✨ How to move their bodies, build coordination and grow in confidence
And somewhere in between all of that… they fall in love with DANCE. 🥹
At JDM, our littlest dancers learn through an age-appropriate, award-winning curriculum with trained teachers who understand how little ones learn best.
These early years matter and we would LOVE to be part of them.

✨ Meet Mrs. Taylor! ✨
We’re so excited to have Mrs. Taylor back for another season with the JDM Dance Family! 💜
💫 Her Story
Born and raised in Southern California, Mrs. Taylor began dancing at just 5 years old. She trained in both recreational and competitive dance, studying ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, and lyrical. She continued her dance education at California State University, Fullerton, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Dance with extensive training in ballet, modern, and jazz.
🩰 Her Experience
Mrs. Taylor’s years of training and teaching have shaped her belief that dance is about so much more than technique. She is passionate about creating a positive and encouraging classroom while maintaining high expectations, celebrating effort, and building genuine relationships with her dancers. Her goal is to help each student grow not only as a dancer, but also as a person.
💜 Why She Loves Teaching
Mrs. Taylor believes dance is a powerful way to build confidence, resilience, responsibility, respect, and meaningful relationships. She considers it a privilege to share her lifelong love of dance with the next generation and loves watching her students discover what they’re capable of. To her, the greatest success isn’t measured by trophies or titles—it’s seeing a dancer leave class more confident, compassionate, resilient, and excited to keep learning.
👑 A Fun Fact
Outside of JDM, Mrs. Taylor is a Lifetime Girl Scout member! She loves photography, spending time outdoors, drawing and painting, is always up for an iced coffee, and is a devoted dog lover. ☕🐾
