Meet Jessica Lynn

A life in dance
and a love of teaching

Jessica Lynn danced professionally for Beyoncé and Nelly Furtado and appeared as a backup dancer for Britney Spears on MADtv. When an injury changed her path, she brought her love of dance into the classroom and studied early childhood education.

Dance Jam brings both worlds together, so every class is as thoughtful as it is fun.
