Spencer Jones
The Musical-Theater Dancer

At the age of 17, Spencer Jones was an accomplished vocalist, pianist and actor with plans to study musical theater in college. He enrolled in dance classes at JAWS to round out his performance skills with some basic dance technique.

A talented performer, Jones picked up dancing very quickly. Immediately, I included him in competitions and studio productions to help him gain experience and poise. I also allowed him word at the studio to offset some of the cost. Jones trained intensively at my studio for one and years before leaving to study musical theater at Wagner College.

After one year of school Jones was anxious to perform. Recognizing his talent, I encouraged him to take the risk and follow his heart. He did. Jones accepted a position at Bush Gardens and never returned to Wagner. Within six months of returning from Bush Gardens, he was dancing professionally for Holland America Cruise Lines.

Today, Jones is living out his life-long dream, appearing in the national touring production of “The Music Man.” He has danced in European and national tours of “Grease,” “A Chorus Line,” and “Footloose,” as well as productions of “Miss Saigon” at the Papermill Playhouse in New Jersey and “The King and I” at the Downtown Cabaret Theatre in New York. I am proud to say, Jones is frequently hired to dance in these productions and later surprises directors with his vocal and acting ability!
