Taking Jess’s DROP classes has been such a fun and refreshing experience as a former dancer. Her energy is contagious, her choreography is creative and challenging in the best way, and she always picks the perfect music to make every class feel like a dance party!

RE: Private dance technique classes.

My 8 year old daughter and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Jess this year. From the minute we met her she was very warm and inviting, my daughter was immediately comfortable working with her. Jess has a great balance of providing constructive corrections with ease and in a way that adds value. Jess has embraced my daughters love for competitive dance. She has taken the time to provide lesson plans that include stretching and strength training to across the floor technique that my daughter could work on outside of the time in the studio. Jess has even choreographed short routines to help my daughter feel more comfortable catching on to choreography. She is constantly thinking of new ways to help my daughter excel. She is very timely with her responses to communications and provides immediate feedback on how well the session went and what to work on for the next. The only downfall I can think of is the drive to see her, but she is worth it!! We were so lucky to have had her respond to our request on Thumbtack. We’ll be sticking with her throughout the next competitive year. 

Thank you Jess for all you do, your time, patience but most of all charismatic sweet personality!

My father and I had such a wonderful experience working with Jess! She choreographed our father-daughter dance for my wedding in August, so we met with her various times throughout the summer leading up to the wedding to learn the dance and practice. She made the practices fun and special, and it was an experience my father and I will always remember. As excited as we were to show off our new dance moves for the wedding, we were a little sad when the dance practices ended! She was very flexible and accommodating to our requests, and reasonably priced. We couldn't have been happier with our choice, she's an amazing choreographer!
