JCB Danceworks was established in 1984, under the sole direction of Jacqueline Cook-Barber. It began with just 60 students in partnership with The Town of Richmond Hill's Parks and Recreation Dept. The program grew in such magnitude that it became too large for the Town's facilities. Moving to a larger location and acquiring certified and talented staff, JCB became one of the top studios in the region.
The studio now facilitates classes in 3 full size studio rooms, and Jacqueline's daughter Nicole Barber Lofto has partnered up adding a next level of choreography and style to the JCB brand. Nicole Barber - Lofto began after growing up as a dancer at JCB and young teacher went on Ryerson University Fine Arts Dance major.

The main goal of JCB in competition is to provide a fun and challenging experience while maintaining proper technique. The competitions provide a venue by which to learn to improve in a positive setting. It is important that both the student and parent understand it is a commitment to a team. Individuals must be willing to work hard and push for their personal best.
