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!
