Miss Jessi has been studying, choreographing and performing dance for over 20 years. She began her training in the Bay Area before heading to college at UC Davis. While in college, Jessi joined the Pulse Dance Ensemble in Sacramento, performing in shows collaborating jazz, hip hop and contemporary.
After graduation, Jessi moved to Los Angeles to study dance and get a taste of the audition world! The classes pushed her as a dancer and inspired her as a choreographer. She joined Dunham Dance Company while she continued to attend auditions and take classes. After adding a few things to her dance resume including appearances in workout and music videos, Jessi was ready to head back to the Bay Area.
Jessi went on to study and earn her Pilates certification while teaching dance at local studios. She then joined the teaching staff at Tiffany’s Dance Academy in 2006. As the director of the Performing Company at the SSF location, Jessi spends a lot of her time prepping dancers for performances and competitions. She is passionate about teaching and using dance to inspire and motivate the young to be strong, independent and confident individuals.
She is always inspired by dancers who dance from their soul. “Dancing with your feet is one thing, but dancing with your heart is another.”
