"My experience with Jessica as a dance instructor was life-changing, as she opened up a whole new world of artistic expression that went beyond anything I could have expected... her teaching style was structured, but somehow she blended in an exploration and discovery of my own body, and how it could be trained to flow in what became for me, very natural movements and rhythms. It was like I was learning the simple logic of this dance genre, while also being pulled into experimenting with how creative and expressive it can be, even at the beginning. She helped me to relax and learn the body language of dance, and then to hold a conversation using that language. It was like being caught up in something and swept away with what I didn't know I knew. This to me is the mark of a great teaching artist- one who can take you on a joyous adventure of body movement- a collection of moments that you want to preserve and enjoy for a lifetime."   ~David

"I enjoyed Jessica’s classes so much. It was a breath of fresh air to learn how to connect my mind and body to the technical side of modern dance. She always brought to the surface my unique potential. After every class, I felt like my mind and body were one. Jessica always gave instructions that were precise and professional. Modern dance was the best class ever... I know we would all seek out to find her class."   ~Bernetta

"Her teaching is full of peaceful energy and deep content. She inspires dance students to dig into their natural movement rather than worrying about the form. The content she delivers in class inspires students to respond through body-mind connection and sensations in a space that feels safe and supportive to them."   ~Claudia

"Jessica was warm and inviting... this ignited my curiosity and sparked a positive interaction. Her teaching style was engaging; intertwined with illuminating grit. She accessed my comfort zone then gently and encouragingly guided me to my utmost potential. Jessica was keen and knowledgeable.  She possessed patience, professionalism and emitted positive affirmations... my friend and I talked about how Jessica had truly strengthened our dance awareness. We had witnessed an influential piece of the dance world which eventually became ingrained into our own dance histories.  Jessica is surely attributed to that influence."   ~Tasha

"Jessica is an extraordinary performer, choreographer, and teacher, who brings a wealth of experience to the table... she has already received quite a bit of praise from colleagues and media critics, and when she has led educational outreach programs, public school administrators have always had fabulous things to say about her as a teacher..."   ~Kerry
