Class Description
Jessica’s tap class focuses on musicality, intricate footwork, and developing the technique to advance and maintain skills. Her style ranges from evoking the 1930s-40s movie musical era to exploring the musicality of modern artists. It has been described as “classic Broadway meets contemporary rhythm.” Class consists of a warm-up, technique exercises, and a fun, challenging combination. Jessica nurtures a supportive, community-over-competition atmosphere that gives you tools to succeed and a cushion if you stumble. She will meet you where you are and guide you to your next step (quite literally!) with a lot of laughs along the way.
