Jayci James

Miss Jayci began her dance training at the age of three in her home town of Fort Smith, Arkansas at Grayce Dewitt Dance Studio. She joined the DANCE est Joie company at age 12 and shortly after began training at the pre-professional level at conventions and competing independently around the country. Her training in both Cecchetti and Vaganova ballet methods has given her a strong technical base to bring to her students. She’s received national talent and choreography awards and favors the commercial dance styles. Jayci strives to bring her passion and knowledge for the art of dance to all of her students and is so excited to be a part of the GDDS family again!
