Welcome!

I'm Jes and I am a tap dancer!

I do a lot of other things too... read, write, knit, craft, drink coffee, watch movies, hang out with my dog, work my day job... but what I'm usually thinking about while doing those things is tap. I danced steadily from 1993 to 2014 (ages 3-24), and then took a break due to injury until 2024. Now I'm back to doing what I love most: taking and teaching tap classes.

I am documenting my current tap journey on Tik Tok, and using this site to show the older videos of me dancing before the break. My goal is to build a portfolio that incudes the past and present, showcasing the results of my diverse training while documenting what it's like to return to the dance world after 10 years away. 

Tap has been a constant thread throughout my life, even during the years I wasn't dancing. This site is a place to celebrate where I've been, look forward to where I'm going, and share the joy I find in making music with my feet. Here's to honoring the past while continuing to grow.
