COASTNOTES
Jess Dance Studio has been in business for 11 years and is expanding into a larger space to better serve the needs of students.
“The studio is growing by leaps and bounds and we’re excited to announce our move to a bigger location,” Jessica Ryan Peters (known as Ms. Jessica
to her students), owner and artistic director, said. “We will be able to offer
even more classes and times!” Jess Dance Studio offers classes
in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Pointe, Lyrical, HipHop, Acrobats, and Irish. They also have an award-winning competitive dance team.
Ms. Jessica won a 2016 choreography award for her competition dance Cool Kids, and company dancers have received titles, overall high score awards, and scholarships.
The studio offers classes to students from age 2 years to adult, pre-school to professional at all levels. “We believe in providing strong technique,
combining traditional dance education in a Christian environment,”
Ms. Jessica said. “We keep our choreography innovative by attending national conventions and learning from other professionals in the field.”
“Dance education is a valuable and rewarding experience, and it promotes self-confidence, creative expression, poise, grace and teamwork.”
Ms. Jessica has trained extensively in Ballet, Pointe, Tap, Jazz, and Lyrical for more than 30 years and has been involved in numerous professional performances.
