About Just Us Rhythm-N-Motion Inc
Just Us Rhythm -N- Motion Inc is a group of fun loving people that have a passion for the dance. Through dancing this interaction has caused us to become close friends. We believe in having fun by expressing ourselves through dancing which has been our tension reliever from our daily activities and a source of needed exercise. Each member brings their own individuality that includes friendliness, no nonsense, infectious smiles, loving hugs, caring spirits, and the willingness to help. We sometimes may disagree but we are like a family, always having love for one another that overflows to everyone.

Just Us Rhythm -N- Motion was formed September 7, 2002. Our first classes were held at the East Cleveland YWCA. Due to the revamp of the "Y" in August of 2003, the group was forced to relocate at the Salvation Army on Grovewood Ave in Cleveland Ohio. Blessings being bestowed upon group, we found solace in September 2004 at our current location, Bally's Total Fitness, Severance Town Center in Cleveland Heights Ohio. The members of Just Us Rhythm -N- Motion consist of Valia Brown, Valerie Brown, Sonya Coggins, Larry Evans, Glenn Ford, Lynn Garrett, Jonathan Gilliam, Carletta Glenn, Shelia Hall, Eugene Harvey-Bey, Jeff Isler, Ron Jackson, Jewel Faye Kelly, Darral & Jeanette Lee, Linda Sams, Bobby Sanders, Gwen Sanders, Aquita Sanford, Marva Wheeler and honoree members Mary & Shamika Sams.

We firmly believe that when God blesses you that you must become a blessing to others, therefore in May of 2006 Just Us Rhythm -N- Motion began to operate as a non-profit incorporation.
