Hi 👋🏼 I’m Jess or Miss Jess as my students know me. I thought I would reintroduce myself as it’s been a while and some of you are new here.
I’ve been teaching adult dance classes in Swanland for the last 8 years and have recently added beginner tap to the Wednesday evening timetable. Please come and join us from September if you fancy learning to tap!
I trained at where I gained my teaching qualifications in ISTD Tap, Ballet and Modern. I then went on to dance professionally for a few years onboard , where I held the role of Dance Captain for my final two contracts 🛳️
I absolutely loved my time at dance class when I was younger (although I was a crier when I had to leave my Mum at 3)! The Fleur Elizabeth Academy of Dance always held a special place in my heart as my teacher, Miss Fleur, was one of my biggest inspirations. I made friends for life and hold some of the most incredible memories from my time there. When an opportunity arose to teach at the I knew I had to make the most of it. 8 years on, I still love working there and am now Vice Principal of the School, which is thriving in it’s 32nd year.
Teaching adult classes gives me so much joy to see ladies of all ages forgetting about the stresses of their day, feeling proud when they’ve nailed a sequence and generally just having a great time with likeminded women who support and uplift each other. Why should dance have to stop when you’re 18 when it has so many benefits?!
I currently have waiting lists for a couple of the classes but if you fancy joining us just send me a message.
Disclaimer…I don’t look this glam on Wednesday evenings 😅
