Tessa has been dancing since she could walk and has always had a passion for artistic expression. Most of her dance training has been hip-hop based within the choreography realm, but in recent years she has been building upon her improv skills as well. Her choreography style is super versatile, and ranges from upbeat & dynamic, to contemporary influenced movement, to sensual & confidence driven movement. Tessa believes that intention is everything within dance. She strongly believes that while foundations are key to becoming a successful dancer, the real magic lies in the students' ability to express themselves. Tessa aims to instill confidence in her students by constantly uplifting them and providing a safe environment for them to grow, not through trying to be the "perfect" dancer, but by simply being themselves.
