The days of feeling ridiculous because you don't know how to dance to music are over! 

One of the most important things most people don't know is that understanding the music you're dancing to is half the battle. Once you know how to interpret your music, dancing to it becomes a breeze! 

In this tutorial, I teach you everything you need to know about dancing to ANY kind of music and show you some basic grooves you can use anytime to tear up every dance floor with confidence and style.

Hip Hop Dance Teacher and Curriculum Development

English

Hello!  I am a teacher of twelve years who continues to choreograph, teach, and perform around the world. I am involved in the industry as a dancer, performer, choreographer, teacher, model, and actor.  I have experience in many areas of dance including hip hop/urban, jazz, contemporary, tap, and more.  Additionally, I am a multifaceted performer and teacher, having experience in theater, character, circus, and clowning.  I am versatile, yet specialized and have a lot of to offer my students.

My classes are customized to my students so they may get the maximum benefit out of working together.  Since having fun is crucial to learning, I like to have a good time with students in my class.  I am outgoing, I love to dance, and I am passionate about sharing my experience with those who are eager to learn!

Jordan is an excellent teacher! Super easy to talk to, made me feel so comfortable right away! I've already noticed major improvements and it's only been a few lessons so far. :)

Jordan was great for our young daughter to work with. Her energy and enthusiasm is enviable.  Equally important, Jordan presented a detailed and realistic working plan and expectations for the shorter and longer term.  You’d be in good hands working with her and using takelessons.com to reach your goals!  

My first lesson met all of my expectations.  I had fun and I look forward to the next one@

Awesome and enthusiastic teacher. She was very attentive to my skill level, experience, and goals. Very much looking forward to taking more tap lessons in the future.

I had a very positive experience taking stretching lessons with Jordan. She is well organized and detailed oriented. Her techniques aren’t painful and sustainable to improve flexibility on the long term. She is also using methods that aren’t causing damage to muscles and joints. She is very responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend taking stretching lessons with Jordan .

I took tap lessons about 25 years ago, so I was feeling pretty nervous about starting up again in my (almost) 40s. Jordan instantly made it SO fun and easy to jump back in.

In each lesson, she gets right to work, leaving me with lots of new steps and plenty of real-time feedback, all in a short period of time. 

She watches carefully and even listens closely for rhythm and precision. 

I'm learning so much, so quickly, and look forward to every lesson!

This is my first tap lesson in quite some time but Jordan made me feel extremely comfortable and excited for our next lesson. I’m looking forward to learning more about tap!

Jordan was great with my 9 year old daughter! Totally worth it!!

Jordan was great!  She quickly determined my level of fitness and what I needed to get started and she's very thorough in her explanations of the movements.  Definitely recommend her.

She is excellent, fun and amazing positive energy!

Jordan is awesome. My daughter started taking lessons with her to work on some areas of dance she wasn't feeling quite comfortable with and right away she was able to help her make improvements. Great attitude  :)

Jordan is an all-around wonderful human. I came into my first lesson feeling awkward and terrified, but her ability to teach in a thoughtful, non-judgmental way had me leave the lesson feeling like I could actually act! I am so thankful for her kindness and encouragement. I would 200% recommend Jordan to anyone.

Jordan is a great teacher. She loves what she does and she wants to help people grow as complete people.

I am a bit like a pinball, bouncing from goal to goal, trying to connect discordant goals. Though my head and heart are a kind of whirlwind of chaos, Jordan politely assuaged my  apprehensions.

Though we were doing improv dance (I didn't see it in the pulldown). Just today she guided me in a meditative exercise for the purpose of helping me exorcise my sensations of self-doubt and fear.

She's the whole package, talented, lovely, intelligent, driven, willing to put up with screwballs like me. 

If you are serious about dance, or anything she teaches ... (not just exploring ideas like me) ... but really committed to learning or honing your skill. 

Do yourself a great favor and work with Jordan. You'll be so happy you did.

Jordan is fantastic and really knows her stuff! The lessons are fun and she really knows how to teach in a way that is approachable to anyone. Highly recommended!
