She became the director of the Paynesville Just For Kix program her first year of college and added the Becker program her second year of college.

They have five kids - Justin (age 23), Shelby (age 21), Rosalie (age 11), Colin (age 9), and Fiona (age 2)! A note from Jess: "I am so thankful for another year of directing my programs and having the chance to be apart of the lives of so many dancers. I take my role very seriously as I know how special it is to be entrusted with what you love most, your children. It is my goal to teach more than "just dance". In my programs we value each child for who they are and it is our mission to teach solid dance skills and technique while also shaping the whole person, and to do so all while treating our dancers the way we would want our own children to be treated. We offer classes that are technically sound, yet positive and FUN for dancers of all experience levels! THANK YOU for sharing your child with us, we cannot wait to have an amazing dance season!"

My name is Bryn and I will be going into 12th grade. This will be my 9th year of dancing for Just For Kix and my 5th year of coaching! I started dancing in 4th grade in Springfield, MN. When I was in 8th grade, I began assistant coaching in Springfield as well. I have assisted several kick classes, ranging from Kindergarten to 6th grade, as well as a few jazz and lyrical combo classes. Outside of dance, I like to read, draw, listen to music, go camping, and spend time with my family. I can not wait for the dance season to start!
