Connie Jesse

Miss Connie started her dancing career when she was four years old in New York City. She studied ballet, jazz and tap and was taught by many a-list teachers at a very young age. She became a member of her school’s dance company and performed in numerous competitions and venues including Madison Square Garden. In order to supplement her dance tuition, she began teaching at a very young age. She was teaching at the age of sixteen at her local dance school and continued doing so throughout high school and summer college years. Connie received her B.A. from Rutgers University and studied dance throughout college. In 2002, she decided to go back to her roots and began teaching dance again in numerous studios in the area. She has taught in every dance style, including ballet, jazz, tap, creative movement and hip-hop. In addition to dance and raising her three children Connie has experience working with children who have learning differences in an academic setting. She feels that this work has been helpful in understanding how all children learn and has definitely made her a better overall teacher.
