Jessica
Dance Instructor
Jessica started dancing as a teenager in Utah and fell in love. When she went to college she thought she was finished dancing but found it was an integral part of her life and couldn't give it up so she took classes at the University of Utah while studying Health & Emergency Medical Services and started teaching at a studio. Over the years she's had the opportunity to be assistant choreographer for a couple seasons of a production of The Nutcracker, she was also assistant choreographer for a Broadway Review and did all of the Newsies choreography. She was assistant director to a dance troupe that specialized in raising funds for charitable organizations and was a company member for a professional performing company in Salt Lake City. She's taught dance for over a decade and especially loves to teach and choreograph Jazz to teenagers and adults. There is such a huge value in teaching people that they are capable of hard things even if they don't find their passion at the "right" time. She's so excited to teach in Iowa at Dance Vision!

Lindsay
Dance Instructor
Lindsay enjoys multiple dance styles and the unique parts of each one, but this year you will find her teaching tumbling. She grew up in Bondurant and started dancing at three years old. Tumbling has been a big part of her life since her first class when she was 6—both taking classes and teaching. She has competed at high school and collegiate levels and appreciates the different lessons she learned while competing with a studio in high school and with her team in college. Whether it was dancing with peers, learning from instructors, being a dance team captain, or teaching, dance has always brought good challenges and a great community. After graduating college, she knew she wanted to stay involved with dance and was able to do that by joining Dance Vision. She loves motivating and cheering on her students and giving them a place to experience growth.

Now she's out of school, She can finally pursue one! She has always loved working with young dancers and helping them understand ballet and just making it a fun, encouraging, and welcoming environment! She really wants to help cultivate the next generation of dancers by being inclusive and light-hearted, but also pushing the dancers and giving them the motivation to reach their full potential.
