JJ blends dance styles like Hip-Hop, Jazz-Funk, Salsa, Ballet, Belly Dance and LOTS of booty poppin’…but that’s not all!

The multi-talented Jennifer “JJ Dancer” Johnson, is a certified personal trainer, professional dancer and choreographer, and currently the “it girl” of hip-hop dance cardio workouts.

 

JJ has been dancing since the age of four and began her professional career at age eight regularly performing with The Chicago City Ballet and Ruth Paige Ballet Companies. As a professional dancer and choreographer, JJ has performed nationally and internationally with artists such as Beyoncé, Kanye West, Kelly Rowland, Pitbull, Lil Wayne, Tyrese, Amerie, Outkast, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Brian McKnight, Carlos Santana, Omarion, and more. JJ has also been featured in many music videos, national commercials, films and television shows, including Dancing with the Stars, MTV Video Music Awards, The American Music Awards, Fashion Rocks, and many others. However, one of JJ’s favorite experiences on the big screen was actually behind the screen, when she trained and choreographed for Jessica Alba in the film, Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For and the upcoming film, Dear Eleanor.

 

JJ’s passion for fitness arose after becoming captain of the NBA Washington Wizards Dance Team, where she was required to lose weight and get in the best physical shape possible. She researched and practiced health and fitness for eight years, ultimately using her experiences with dance and fitness to design the JJ Dancer Method — a one of a kind, cutting-edge fitness program that combines dance cardio, intense body conditioning, plyometrics, kickboxing, and ballet barre techniques with JJ’s celebrity training secrets.

 

Her workouts are regularly featured in magazines, such as Cosmopolitan, People, Self, Shape, Elle, Marie Claire, and Well + Good, as well as television shows like Entertainment Tonight, The Insider, PopSugar, KTLA and E! News. JJ is also a celebrity trainer for CosmoBody– Cosmopolitan magazine’s video fitness app– and regularly trains high profile clients such as Jenna Dewan Tatum, Nicole Scherzinger, Jessica Alba, Olivia Munn, and NBA champion, John Salley. JJ frequently does fitness retreats, as well as national and international press and media tours with big fitness brands, such as Fabletics, Adidas, and SpaceCycle China – making television appearances, shooting videos, as well as training international celebrities, trainers, and local fitness enthusiasts.

 

Most recently, JJ is beyond excited to have been given the opportunity to expand the JJ Dancer Method to Asia! JJ has partnered with SpaceCycle China and Taiwan to launch the latest dance cardio program, SpaceMoves! JJ designed the SpaceMoves program to be first and foremost fun and engaging, but equally important, to deliver a challenging and progressive workout for total body results. JJ acts as the ongoing Education Program Advisor, personally training and certifying qualified trainers to teach the SpaceMoves classes in all of the SpaceCycle clubs across Asia, as well as delivering new choreography and content regularly, keeping the program fresh and exciting! Since its launch in June 2017, the SpaceMoves program has become a big hit in Shanghai, Beijing and Taipei, and JJ Dancer is getting major media buzz across the Asian markets!

 

JJ’s love for her work is infectious and she believes in fully challenging each individual client to their absolute limits, while making it a priority that training is extremely fun for all fitness levels! JJ is dedicated to promoting empowerment and confidence through fitness!
