Birthday Parties have been pushed back; Saturdays from 1pm-2pm and Sundays from 9am-11am are strictly devoted to Family Fun.

Cheers to 2017! Before ringing in the New Year, the founder of Ms. J’s Gymnastics and Dance (Wei Jiang a.k.a. Ms. J) caught up with some friends in North Carolina. During this past break, Ms. J’s founder made the trip to see some long-time friends she hasn’t seen for awhile- Qi Han (a former member of the Chinese men’s national team and graduate of Beijing Sports University), his wife Yiwen Chen, and Biyu (a former member of the Chinese women's national team).
