About Us
Javier's Dance Studio has been dedicated to its goal of providing dancers with the opportunity to train in an inspirational atmosphere! For 36 years we have offered the finest all-around dance training designed for Children, Teens & Adults.
We haved offered a variety of classes instructed by professional and knowledgeable teachers and choreographers. Our staff has provided a friendly and comfortable atmosphere for over 3 decades. At Javier’s we have always recognized that the dance experience begins in the classroom but culminates on the stage. Our students have had the chance to to add a new dimensions to their dance training & to grow as performers.
We have proudly watched our students thrive in dance and many have gone onward and reach for their goals of becoming professional dancers and some have even opened their own dance studios. We are just as proud of those who may have only studied with us for a brief period of time but have also thrived in their endeavors.

Ari is a young dancer raised by parents that nurtured in him a love of dance and artistic expression. His raw talent and versatile training, combined with his natural knack for performing and choreographing, are an inspiration to his peers.
Arian’s unique style fuses hip hop with contemporay, animation and expressive movements that describe the music he uses. It is his desire share his art form with other dancers, raising the bar for hip-hop performers and performances in the area.

Big News.........
We are very happy that we sold our building to the Montessori Academy of Slidell! While we are thrilled about the sale, it is a little bittersweet. We have so many fond memories at the studio and we would like to express our gratitude for the amazing support we have received from our family, friends, teachers, students, dancers, and the community!
Even though it was a passing of a very special place, we are still very active in our dance community. Both Javier and Arian are still dancing, teaching, and performing now locally and nationwide. We will be sure to keep you up to date on where to find them. The pandemic has definitely slowed things down for us, but we are still teaching some classes, following all safety protocol in regards to Covid 19. Unfortunately we have discontinued Carreta's Salsa Dance Parties until it is safe to resume.
Keep Dancing!
Sincerely,
Javier, Melissa & Arian Juarez
