The next session of Music Together (Spring 2025) will begin on Thursday, April 10 and runs 10 weeks. Class time is 9:30 a.m.-10:15 a.m. Music Together is the flagship program at The Janice Center, starting hundreds of youngsters on the road to musical and social development. Since 2008, more than 1300 children have experienced Music Together classes at The Janice Center. Many have gone on to play musical instruments and participate in dance classes with a more developed musical ear and sense of rhythm.

Music Together is a research-backed program that taps into a young child’s musical instincts through specially-composed music, easy-to-use instruments and instructor/parent involvement. Through 10 weeks of 45-minute classes, children ages 0-4 learn to sing in tune, keep a beat and participate with confidence in a group setting.

As one parent said of Music Together, "It's the best program around for a young child. It offers everything -- interaction, socialization, music, dance and most of all fun!"

Readers of the River Reporter Magazine have again chosen The Janice Center as The Best Dance Studio in its circulation area. This covers all of Sullivan County, Honesdale and parts of Orange County. The Janice Center has received this honor multiple times.

"It's always feels good to be recognized as the best," said owners Ken and Tanya Cohen. "We have so many supportive families. So we share this honor proudly with all of them."

The Janice Center dance program has come a long way since its inception in 2008. That year, there was one class of ballet with 12 students culminating with a small show at the Center. By 2023, that number had grown to more than 100 students in ballet and hip hop, making it the largest dance troupe in Sullivan County. Dance recitals held at The Villa Roma and Sullivan West have drawn close to 400 attendees.

At The Janice Center, we have five instructors offering individual instrumental and voice lessons in specially-designed lesson rooms. Their schedules are flexible and can accommodate weekday and weekend schedules. The instruments offered are: clarinet, drums, flute, guitar, piano, trumpet, trombone (as well as other brass) and sax.

Busses from Sullivan West Elementary and High Schools stop directly in front of The Janice Center everyday. If your child has a class or lesson after school, you don\'t have to worry about transporting him or her here. Just let the authorities at the school know they will be taking the bus to The Janice Center and they\'re all set. If they have to wait any amount of time for their class or lesson to begin, we have a waiting room and also a common area where they can sit an do homework. Also we provide snacks and water. We will always be here until your child is picked up after the class or lesson -- they will never be left alone.

The Janice Center is the ideal place to host your child\'s next birthday party. Whether it be a dance, Music Together or Paint party, we can tailor the activities to your needs. So instead of trying to handle everything yourself, enjoy the special day and let us do all the work. We even put your child’s name on our outdoor marquis!

Said one parent who recently had a party at The Janice Center, “It\'s a no-brainer to have a party here. The kids have a blast, The Janice Center does everything and you can actually just relax and take in the day!\"
