JUST CAUSE DANCERS, INC

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

The purpose of Just Cause Youth Dance Ensemble is to entertain through various forms of dance, illuminating emotions that cause positivity and excitement. Just Cause Dance, Inc. is a non-profit organization that aides in the belief that dance diversifies the human race and provides an outlet of expression including many cultural and diverse arts.Johanna Cousin developed Just Cause Dancers Inc. April 7, 2006. It was started as an outlet for young girls and boys to express themselves through dance and perform in a structured, controlled and fun environment. As a teacher Johanna noticed the stereotypes and false interpretations of dancing that existed in the minds of children. These stereotypes lead to the development of Just Cause Dancers Inc. in order to guide children in the right direction and really appreciate dance as an art. Just Cause Dancers Inc. strives to use dance as a tool to teach and train the art of dancing while also teaching children team building techniques, as well as confidence and self-esteem. If you believe you will achieve you will succeed. Why ?????????? Just 'Cause !!!!!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Johanna started dancing at the age of four, trained in the art of jazz, tap, African, spiritual, ballet, modern, and hip-hop dance. At the age of 11 Johanna began performing in musicals such as "Grease, West Side Story, Chorus Line, and Peter Pan." It was then that Johanna began to appreciate the art of dancing. In high school Johanna's passion for dancing grew even stronger as she participated on her high-school drill team. After high-school Johanna attended Illinois State University as a Communications Major, but her ability to dazzle crowds never wavered as she was an active member of Noir Dance Team. While performing with Noir, Johanna began choreographing routines for the group to perform. Since Johanna has performed at the Billboard Music Award New Talent Showcase, choreographed dance routines for numerous Chicago Artist live performances, and videos, and she has made an appearance in the dance portion of a documentary about Chicago. Throughout her career Johanna has won numerous awards for her dedication to children and dance. Since it has been her dream to develop a dance company that specialized in teaching children to truly love, appreciate, understand dance as an art form. On April 7, 2006, Johanna made that dream a reality and Just 'Cause Dancers Inc. was formed. I believe I can accomplish anything with heart, hard work, and determination. As a dancer I’ve left a glimmer still to cheer, a star still to wish upon, a boundary still to break, a goal still to set, and a dream still to come true. It’s up to me to make it happen. Anyone can dance, but not just anyone can do that dance like me……Why?????????????JUST CAUSE……..BELIEVING IS ACHIEVING….SO DANCE
