I most recently played Brandi Boardman in the upcoming feature film Candlewood, premiering in 2023. Previously, I was the Assistant Director for May We All: A New Country Musical, which had its world premiere at TPAC in June 2022. Prior to the pandemic, I was the Dance Captain and Swing on the Fiddler on the Roof: Broadway National Tour and returned in October 2021 as the Assistant Choreographer. I am launching my performing artist podcast + essay series in 2023!

I received my BFA in Dance and BA in Psychology from Marymount Manhattan College. I am also a 200-hour Certified Yoga Teacher, Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher, ABT (American Ballet Theater) Certified Teacher, Body Project Facilitator through the National Eating Disorder Association, and a host of journaling/creativity workshops.

I offer lessons in yoga, ballet, contemporary, modern, jazz, musical theater, and pointe. I support my students in connecting with their bodies and movement, focusing on their mental and physical health, preparing for professional careers, and bringing joy into their lives.

Theater

Theater

I am the Assistant Choreographer on the Fiddler on the Roof Broadway National Tour and was previously the Dance Captain, Swing, and understudy for a principal role. My next role is as the Assistant Director for a highly anticipated new musical coming to Nashville this summer. As a member of both the cast and creative team, I am passionate about supporting students and professionals alike in pursuit of their theater dreams! Whether you're looking to prepare for dance, singing, or acting auditions, improve your dance technique, or learn tools to care for your mind and body, I am here for you!

Sports/Recreation

Ballet,

Ballet

In addition to being a professional dancer who was the Dance Captain on the Fiddler on the Roof Broadway National Tour and later became Assistant Choreographer, I have trained in ballet for 25 years and taught ballet for 15. I create a supportive environment whether you are a beginner looking to discover the joy of ballet, a student wanting to push themselves further, or a professional looking for a safe space to grow. With my BFA in Dance from Marymount Manhattan College's prestigious program and a certification to teach ballet through the American Ballet Theater, I help my students use ballet to serve their own needs and individual bodies rather than try to fit into ballet's standards!
Yoga

Yoga

Whether you are an athlete, artist, entrepreneur, homemaker, parent, doctor, or anything in between, you can better your personal and professional life through yoga! I am passionate about teaching yoga because it led me towards healing my autoimmune disease, allowed me to flourish in my career as a professional dancer, and generally supports my day-to-day life. I help my students: - Develop warm-ups and cool-downs for your unique body - Change, heal, and develop your relationship with your body + movement - Learning tools + techniques to take care of the mind and body - Deepen + explore your relationship with yourself

Amazing tutor

In one lesson Jessica helped my daughter tremendously with her technique and confidence. My daughter came out energized and raved about how sweet and nice Jessica was with her and how she can't wait to take more lessons with her (she had so much fun too!). At the end of the lesson, I received a summary from Jessica which will help us keep up with what she learned, and I thought this was extremely valuable. I highly recommend Jessica as a dance tutor and will be booking more lessons with her in the future!

Knowledgeable and flexible tutor!

I have greatly enjoyed my time with Jessica so far. I am a complete beginner to ballet, and I was impressed by how Jessica is very organized with her lessons. She lets me know what we will work on for the future, and uses a shared notebook so that we can both recap the lesson and share any ideas or thoughts we had during. I appreciate how she incorporates yoga and some other fun dancing activities at the end to loosen up my dance muscles :) excited for my third lesson!
