"Jessica intuitively knows how to best help "singers who move" acquire skills and confidence. Her class is a genuinely safe space, which is challenging but not so out-of-reach that one becomes disenchanted. Instead, I felt encouraged and inspired by her, and by my own progress. She teaches solid technique without intimidation, but with the utmost care for her students, all while creating an environment of fun. She also understands the importance of authentic storytelling through movement, which is imperative in audition settings. Anyone who wants to actually enjoy their dance training should run to Jessica's class."

"It's been years since I've been in a dance class. Jessica made me feel comfortable and welcome. I learn, I laugh, I have a great time at every class. Jessica is a dancer who really understands singers."
- Joan Barber (Follies, Man of La Mancha, Beauty and the Beast)
