JoJo Siwa fans rejoice, we are getting more JoJo with the new musical movie, The J Team, as well as new JoJo music as the original soundtrack for the movie will feature six new songs from Siwa. With all the success of her other projects this is one that is looking to be a hit with fans as JoJo plays a girl who is kicked out of her dance troupe and will come to find out what dance (and friendship) really mean to her. Not only that, but in the 90 minute The J Team musical we will see her true “sparkle” before the credits roll.
The story has JoJo getting a new dance coach after her beloved coach retires and her new coach is a sparkle hater. She tries to say with the new instructor with her friends, but the rules become too much and she has to go out on her own. This is where she finds her dancing inspiration once again. Her best friends, The Rubies, will be played by Kiara T. Romero and Kerrynton Jones, we are excited to see all the three of them together. New JoJo Siwa music is always a big deal, even more so that it is in a new movie musical.
