Jessica Picard

Jessica has loved dance since the early age of two. Growing up, she got her training in Massachusetts at Tammy's Dance Connection. She grew up training in all styles of dance, but tap and contemporary were always her favorite! Jessica danced for 15 years at her home studio and competed for 11 years. During this time, she has won many awards both locally and nationally. Her most prized accomplishment was being chosen out of over 200 people by Alex Wong (former So You Think You Can Dance contestant) to perform his choreography in the EXCEL in Motion convention. After high school, Jessica attended Keene State College where she got a dual bachelor's degree in elementary education and sociology. Once returning back from college, and becoming a 5th grade teacher, Jessica realized how much she missed dancing. She then taught at her home studio for one year (junior hip hop) and then two years at another studio (tap, contemporary, jazz, and ballet). Jessica has just recently moved to Colorado from Massachusetts and was looking for a studio out here to continue her love for teaching and dancing. Jessica has taught at DanceSpace since moving to Colorado in 2021 and has loved sharing her knowledge with her students.
