About Studio J2 Dance

 ​​Justine first found her love of dance when her mom enrolled her in dance classes at the age of three. She continued to study tumbling, ballet, jazz, lyrical and tap as a young child. As Justine got older, she experimented with other activities such as competitive cheer, track, and gymnastics. At the age of 16, Justine taught her first Hip Hop class at a local gym she was training at. After that, she realized she was hooked and loved choreographing and teaching dance. Since then, Justine has instructed and choreographed for many dance classes at her studio where she has lead her company to many national and regional wins and received many choreography awards for herself. Justine taught while attending college full time at IUPUI where she studied exercise science, pre physical therapy, dance and psychology. While at the University, she was given the opportunity to perform for the Moving Company where she was able to take dance classes at a college level and perform professionally. She graduated IUPUI with a bachelors in Kinesiology, a minor in dance, a minor in psychology and a certificate in personal training. Justine is the coach and choreographer for the Martinsville High School Dance Team and has lead the team to several number one state titles. She has  choreographed for the Martinsville High School Musicals, Merry Mac Players & The Moving Company at IUPUI.  Justine was given the opportunity to choreograph and dance as a backup dancer at the Indy Pride Festival. Later on Justine made a connection with the Canadian song artist, Jasmine Whyte, where she was asked to choreograph and dance in a music video. Justine's goal is to continue spreading her love of dance to her hometown and surrounding communities.
