Napoleon & Tabitha from SYTYCD America (International choreographers) with Qjam dancers Georgia and Sheridan in Los Angeles

Toowoomba’s Biggest, Freshest and most Innovative Commercial Dance Industry School. Queensland JAM Factory are  leaders in Hip Hop and all styles of urban dance.

Our style of teaching is faster and more efficient in achieving a higher standard of dance from our students whilst enjoying every minute of the experience. Why spend two years learning what should take only one year? The aim is to provide dance training at a level where students are constantly stimulated and focused and where the training is challenging. Students achieve more and gain more confidence as a result.

Most of our classes are aimed at beginners and intermediate dancers of every age from 2yrs to adults. A few classes are offered for intermediate/advanced and advanced dancers. Dancers at this level can audition for one of our performance crews. In a crew, students receive the ultimate in training, with fantastic opportunities and experiences. Queensland JAM Factory dance performance crews: OXYJAM (elite crew 14-26yrs); AMpDEFY urban street skills crew (age open); EXIT CREW (intermediate 13-18yrs); FRESHH 21 (junior crew 9-14yrs); Times2 (kids crew 5-10yrs) Watch the website for audition dates.

International dance workshops are hosted throughout the year. Qjam teachers and dancers have trained with some of the biggest names in the industry including choreographers for Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Janet Jackson, Black Eyed Peas, Michael Jackson, Beyonce and Chris Brown to name a few.
