Our Team

Staff bios and welcome messages are coming soon, so check back!

Jaclyn Carol's Dance Academy has been a premier dance school in WNY for nearly two decades! Started in 2007 by Jackie Dimino (Palmer) and her mom Shari Palmer, JCDA is an inclusive student-focused studio teaching proper dance technique through routines, games, exercises, warm-ups, workshops, videos and more.

Our students gain so much more than just a dance education - or just learning a dance routine. We have a long record of instilling confidence, coordination, and teamwork skills in a fun and inclusive atmosphere. Our teachers are truly some of the best in our region - many with teaching degrees, all with multiple certifications and years of experience dancing and working with kids of all ages and learning styles. 

  We offer classes in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Musical Theater, HipHop, Pointe, Acro, Break Dancing, Contemporary, All-Boys Hip-Hop, Competition, and Contemporary Dance for all age levels and technique levels between September and June, with special workshops and camps all year long!
