Comprised of three different areas of study – dance, visual arts and theater, Teen Spot is a dynamic arts program With programs like Teen Spot, JCAL champions the role the arts play in building creativity, confidence, character and a well-rounded education. Teen Spot parents find that success in the arts helps their children believe that they can succeed elsewhere – even in school. Exhibiting their work, performing a monologue, or dancing a solo provides a sense of accomplishment that builds self-esteem, improves communication skills, and reinforces teamwork.
