Training Programs[edit | edit source | hide | hide all]

For people who cannot attend at the studios or conventions when JoJo is teaching, she offers already an complete intensive training and educational program for ambitious pro dancers. This is NOT a recreational program and is meant for dancers looking to elevate into pros. But she offers also online tutorials for everyone else. There are also planned to offer "on camera experiences" and "traveling heels intensive" courses. [2]
