About DSJ
DSJ Dance Studio was founded in 2016. We specialize in Street Jazz-based training for kids and teens — blending strong technique with creativity, performance, and K-pop-inspired style.
Our programs are trusted by families and schools across Calgary, and we’re proud to be connected locally with major community events and internationally with K-pop leaders like PLEDIS Entertainment. We help young dancers grow with confidence — both on and off the stage.
DSJ is proud to be actively connected with:
-
Local schools and cultural organizations, including CBE, CCSD, YMCA
-
Major community events and youth programs, such as the Lilac Festival
-
Leading K-pop companies like PLEDIS Entertainment, a subsidiary of HYBE, home to globally renowned groups like BTS, NewJeans, LE SSERAFIM, and SEVENTEEN
What is Street Jazz
Street Jazz is a fun, high-energy dance style that mixes the clean lines of jazz with the groove and power of hip-hop. It helps dancers build rhythm, strength, coordination — and great stage presence!
At DSJ, we often use popular K-pop songs in class because they’re fun, trendy, and exciting to perform. But just so you know — K-pop isn’t actually a dance style. It’s a mix of different choreographies, and many of them are based on Street Jazz.
That’s why at DSJ, students don’t just copy K-pop moves — they learn the real foundations behind the style, so they can dance with confidence, creativity, and their own unique flair.
