OUR MISSION
JHN Dance strives to expand the nature and culture of Urban & Hip-Hop Dance. The often overlooked dance style is seen too often as a style that is "unprofessional" or a "street dance". We're here to prove that our "cardboard days" are well behind us, and we're ready and capable of building a community of professional dancers through training of structure and discipline.
