Janeal Cox

Dance has always been my life. From the age of 3 on I have been involved in dance classes. You are never too old to learn, but there is a time when your body doesn’t want to participate in the learning process. Still, I can’t seem to let go. I LOVE DANCE! There is nothing like the way music makes me feel when I hear it. My body responds subconsciously and I can’t make it stop. Dance is a part of my heart and soul.

Dance is a wonderful art and teaching dance to the youth is such a great reward. The children’s smiles, spontaneous hugs, and their happiness is unmatchable. Making lifelong friends through dance is also a great reward.

Our mission at Dance Image Studios is to teach the art and skills of dance as well as to love dance. We desire to teach the students to respect themselves and others, to always give their best, and gain the confidence they need throughout life.

Dance is a discipline and dance teaches discipline.

In the 52 years I have taught, and the 17 years I danced before I began teaching, I have developed friendships that I will always treasure. For me……DANCE IS LIFE!
