Meet Jessica
Hello Dance Teacher Friends! After 30 years in the dance industry, I have created the Whole-Child Approach to Dance Education to provide dance teachers and studio owners with a Preschool Dance Curriculum that has been rooted in research and grounded with evidentiary success.
As I worked as a performing professional ballerina, I also managed and grew Colorado's premiere in-school Dance Program: Dance Exploration. I created the Dance to Learn® Curriculum for children in-school settings. The Curriculum has been developed with the child in mind - and focused on how children learn, both in and out of the classroom.
The Dance to Learn® Curriculum has been shared with thousands of children in schools, dance studios, recreation centers and homes for 15 years. The Whole-Child Approach to Dance Education is trusted with Educators, Parents and Dance Industry Professionals nationwide.
I can't wait for you to join our Community!
My Promise to you and your Students!
- Focused on the Child: The Curriculum & Resources available in your membership are focused with the whole-child in mind and promises to be educational, engaging, enriching & essential.
- Develops &Grows with you and your Studio: New Curriculum and Resources are added frequently, allowing your preschool dance program to grow and serve more families following the Whole-Child Approach to Dance Education.
- Based on Research & Evidence: The Dance to Learn® Curriculum is rooted in research and our Principles of Whole-Child Dance Education grounded in evidence.
