Jess is so incredibly talented with her variety of choreography that she offers. I have been attending The DROP classes which has been such a great outlet to be able to get back into dancing, work out and meet new people! I highly recommend joining a class no matter what dance background you come with

The Drop hip hop class is AMAZING! Jess brings my passion for dance back in action with incredible choreography, music and energy! Jess makes it so much fun for anyone to come dance, sweat...whether they were former dancers or not. I call this class a "Healthy Happy Hour"...its just the BEST!

DROP classes are the perfect outlet for anyone looking to get back into dance. Not only are they an awesome cardio workout, but they also help me rediscover the body/memory connection. I've met some amazing new people, too! Jess is a fantastic choreographer who has created a supportive and inclusive environment. If you're looking for a great way to stay fit and connect with others, this hip hop dance class is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

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!

I was looking for help gaining some dancing skills for my daughters upcoming wedding particularly the father/daughter dance. Jess did a great job helping me get comfortable with dancing and showing me some different steps and choreographed some moves for me. She was personable and patient and obviously had skills above what I needed. She did a great job for me and I highly recommend her.

Details: One • Parent dance (i.e., father/daughter) • Slow Dance • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
