Feelings of elation overwhelm my heart as I reflect on our first annual summer concert, "The Full Spectrum." The preparations for a concert of the JSDC caliber are not just simply about incredible choreography with beautiful dancers - that is merely the result of the hundreds of hours of behind-the-scenes dedicated work. From design meetings to costume fittings to rehearsals, as the Artistic Director and successor of the Jazz Spectrum name, it is my promise to always give 100% and so much more to all who partake in our company's productions. Whether you are a dancer, a theater lover, or an art enthusiast, I am deeply grateful to those who believe in the forward motion of Jazz Spectrum Dance Company! 

Read below to learn a little more about what we've been up to during the month of July and a few new upcoming events...

Our short dance film "Chameleon" featuring JSDC rehearsal director, Estelle Verdugo was presented in the LoudSoulMusic Online Film Festival. If you haven't had the opportunity to enjoy "Chameleon" you can rent it here. Once you watch the piece, take a moment and tell us what you think!

We performed at Orange County's hottest choreography showcase "Loose Cannons" presenting our iconic burlesque style work, "Toybox". Christine Baltes choreographed this timeless masterpiece in 1998 and it never gets old! 

FREE outdoor performance!
