Jessica was born and raised in Spartanburg, SC. Her Mom put her in dance classes at the age of 2 &1/2 to deal with her “hyperactivity”. She fell in love and has been dancing ever since. Jessica attended the University of Oklahoma where she received her B.F.A in Dance with an emphasis in Ballet Pedagogy. After graduation, she moved to NYC where she has lived off and on for the past 10 years pursuing her passion of dance on a professional level. Jessica was a Radio City Rockette for 8 years, performing on the Great Stage at Radio City Music Hall for 5 of those years.
Jessica has also performed in the National Tour of “Barry Manilow’s Copacabana” and the Broadway 1st National Tour of “42nd Street”. Some of her favorite credits include performing as a Rockette in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and on The Today Show, as well as being chosen to sing on the “Rockettes Christmas CD”.
She continues to audition, do print work, teach dance, choreograph, and perform. She also has her 200 hour vinyasa yoga teacher training certificate from Sonic Yoga in NYC. Jessica is delighted to be joining the FlyBarre Atlanta team. She looks forward to seeing you at the “Barre” !
