Beginning
JOYDANCE Music Academy is an idol-audition specialist academy that has grown around idol audition preparation since its founding in 2003.
Beside every student who dreams of becoming an idol, from start to finish. Many had the dream but didn't know how to prepare — and JOYDANCE was created to fill that gap.
A record of debuts spanning 2005 to 2026 — that is the path JOYDANCE has walked. JOYDANCE is not a hobby-focused studio but a professional training academy designed for agency audition preparation and trainee debut.
