Juline School Of Dance

What Juline School Of Dance does

Juline School of Dance is a private ballet-centered dance academy founded in 1974 and operating from a single location at McHenry Village in Modesto, California. The school occupies five studios equipped with mirrored walls, ballet bars, and viewing windows, and serves students ranging from age two through adult, with a curriculum anchored in classical ballet alongside related disciplines. Operations are run by 1–10 staff under artistic directors Akira Takahashi and Amy Marie Briones, both former Ballet San Jose soloists, who assumed directorship in 2024.

The business operates a multi-stream tuition model. Core revenue comes from recurring class enrollment across age-tiered and level-based programs, augmented by ancillary fee-based offerings including birthday party hosting at $375 for two hours and external studio rental at $80 per hour. A Pre-Professional Ballet Training Program and a Central California Summer Dance Conservatory extend the product surface into intensive, higher-commitment programming. Technology infrastructure is limited to the Jackrabbit Class parent portal for registration and billing; there are no proprietary software or AI components. The school's affiliated nonprofit, Ballet Modesto Ensemble, fields 38 dancers and provides a performance pipeline that reinforces the school's standing in the regional ballet community.

Distribution and customer acquisition are local and relationship-driven. The school holds the Quality Business Award for Best Ballet School in Modesto (2024), maintains vendor relationships with regional homeschool charter networks, and partners with The Ballet Alliance and The Dance Bag to extend visibility. There is no second physical site, no franchise model, and no digital delivery channel; all revenue is generated at the Modesto location from in-person attendance.
