Description: JoJo Siwa encourages viewers to keep their sparkle alive no matter what in her new Paramount+ movie, *The J Team*. Produced by Nickelodeon and Awesomeness Films, Siwa brings her signature style to this music and dance-filled extravaganza. The story follows JoJo (played by Siwa) as her life takes a turn when her longtime dance coach, Val (Laura Soltis), unexpectedly retires. JoJo must now adapt to the strict guidance of her new instructor, Miss Poppy (Tisha Campbell-Martin), which threatens to dim her shine.
In the film, Siwa’s character navigates this challenge while staying true to herself. Siwa also served as an executive producer, a role that allowed her to influence the creative process. She shares that portraying herself felt more authentic than playing a character, given her resemblance to JoJo.
The movie is packed with energetic musical numbers and diverse characters, including a transgender youth currently in transition, adding to the film’s inclusivity. Siwa expresses pride in the project and reveals her favorite song from the soundtrack. *The J Team* is a vibrant and empowering film that promises to inspire audiences.
