Jessica’s love for tap started at age 4.  She was literally born to tap! Her grandmother put her in tap because she would never stop moving her feet and was often reprimanded for fidgeting. Originally from California, Jessica trained in Jazz, Ballet & Tap at North County Dance Arts, under the direction of Lewis and Tanya McKay.  Jessica moved to Owensboro at the age of 12 and stepped away from structured/classroom style lessons, but her love and knowledge for tap never left her.  Though not in a classroom setting, she continued to practice her craft.   Jessica’s proactive approach landed her as Musick Studios first ever Tap Instructor.  She has created our Tap Program from the ground up.

Jessica also has a passion for photography, videography and editing. She has used her skills to jump start Musick Studios social media presence, After teaching Tap and doing Social Media for a year Jess jumped at the position of Office Manager when that oppertunity came about.
