Jessica
Instructor
Deland, FL
I’ve always had a love for dance. My parents said I came into this world dancing, and I’ve never stopped. My background in dance spans 40 years, I started at the age of 3, and I danced through to adulthood. I’ve taught children through adults, various formats including ballet, jazz, lyrical and hip-hop. In my 20s I had the opportunity to dance for the Orlando Predators Arena Football and the Orlando Magic Dance teams, amazing experiences I hold near and dear to my heart.
My top 3 strengths (according to CliftonStrengths) are Developing people, Empathy and Connectedness, so becoming a dance fitness instructor was the perfect fit. The love I have for recognizing and cultivating the potential in others led me to become a certified dance fitness instructor through Dance2Fit. I believe in the power of dance and how it can make you feel - it is very empowering. My favorite part of teaching this style of fitness is that it allows you to be free with your body, smile, laugh, feel connected to others, have a great time, all while getting an amazing workout.
I live with my husband, our daughter and fur baby Coco (who occasionally joins our Engage classes with me). I also have a full time job as a Sr. Technology Consultant, working remotely for a terrific small company. This allows me to have this amazing side hustle. I’m honored to be a part of Engage Fitness Collective and look forward to teaching alongside our amazing team of instructors and meeting each of you. If you haven’t taken my class, pop in some time, I promise you’ll leave sweaty and happy!

Testimonials
Dance 2 Fit with Jess has been such a transformation for my life! I look forward to it every week and am upset when I have to miss a day. I have never participated in an organized fitness program that I have enjoyed, until now. Jess is upbeat and really knows what she’s doing. It is so much fun and I forget that I’m even working out, until the next day ;). I’ve been going for almost 2 years now and I won’t stop. I feel healthier than I’ve ever felt and am comfortable in my body. I still have goals that I set for myself and I have no doubt that I will get there! Thanks Jess!

I have never kept up with a fitness routine for so long until I found Dance Fitness with Jess! In a little over a year I have shed a few pounds, toned muscle and gained confidence I thought I would never get back. This is great, but even better are the friendships that have formed! When Jess says the is a NO judgement zone, that is exactly what she means. We have fun together, laugh together, and sweat together, (making that fat cry, baby!) I even bring my 15 year old daughter with me, and she enjoys it and keeps coming back with me!!! If you've been looking for something a little different, that works (with consistency) and something you look forward to every week, come join us! You WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!

started Dance to Fit as something fun to do with my friends. Little did I know that it would become an obsession my body needed and loved. Jess brings an aspiring attitude and love for this form of fitness. She makes you consistently feel there is nothing you can’t do! Dance Fitter for life!!”
