JACKIE CODDINGTON
Birthday: June 15th
DANCE BACKGROUND
I’ve been dancing since the age of 9 and have my BA of Arts in Dance from Slippery Rock University! During my time at SRU I was chosen to perform with guest artists such as Doug Varone and Chad Murray and was a founding member of the Rock Dance Company. Rock Dance ignited my love for teaching and I have been teaching in all genres for the last 14 years! I am so excited to be a part of the Thomas Studio family for my 6th season!
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
My goal as a dance educator is to create a safe environment where all dancers can feel free to move in their own unique style. I believe dance can heal even through the heaviest seasons of life and it is important to give my dancers the same “safe haven” I was lucky enough to have growing up!
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
-
My favorite color is Blue and I love everything Harry Potter! I also love coaching gymnastics of all levels
