Miss Jessie
Dance Instructor and Front Desk Admin
Dance is my first love. I cannot wait to rekindle the flame at All In Dance Academy. I grew up in my small hometown studio where my mom was a dance teacher, so I was literally dancing before I was born. I began competing at age ten and learned the importance of teamwork and hard work. I trained in all styles: ballet (including pointe), tap, jazz, clogging, hip-hop, musical theater, lyrical, and contemporary.
