Our Story

A Passion for Dance,  A Commitment to Every Child

JD Dance Studio was founded by Miss Julie O'Neill with a lifelong passion for dance and a vision to create a welcoming, family-focused studio where every child can learn, grow, and shine.

From a lifelong love of dance to becoming a New York State Certified Dance Educator, Miss Julie turned her dream into reality by opening JD Dance Studio in Mineola in 2023. As the studio quickly grew, a second location opened in Williston Park in 2025. Today, JD Dance Studio proudly serves 250+ dancers, providing exceptional training in a positive and supportive environment.
