Miss Jeslin

DANCE INSTRUCTOR

 love for dancing began at a young age, inspired by watching my older sister. I knew right away I wanted to follow in her footsteps. At just five years old, I started professionally learning Bharatanatyam, an Indian classical dance form, and Bollywood dancing. As I grew older and began to consider my career path in college, I came across taking a minor in Developmental Psychology. This led me to work with children ages 0-5 all throughout college, and it was here that I discovered my passion for teaching dance. I noticed how my favorite time working with the children was when we played music and danced together. It was here I saw the biggest smiles and each child’s infividuality, confidence and personalities radiate! Then I found Dancekidz, an opportunity that combined my love for dance and teaching young children, I knew it was the perfit fit. I am so grateful to be a dance teacher and share the love for dance I experienced as a little girl.
