Amelia, JSLA '22 Attendee
"This program de-mystified many of the things I was worried about. Aspects of a professional career like networking and financing are really not as scary as they seem. This program is so personal, special, and filled with SO MUCH useful information that I couldn't recommend it more for someone who is looking for clarity and support on their journey."
Maggie, JSLA '22 Attendee
"JSLA fills your mind, body, and spirit. There is something for everyone, and literally anyone who takes JSLA will learn something or experience new. The workshop is empowering and filled with kind, caring people who care about you and your success. Any movement artist in the LA area can benefit from this workshop – you'll grow as an artist and entrepreneur."
