Jessica Cameron

Jessica began her dance training at the age of five in Riverside, California at Just Plain Dancin’ & Co. where she danced competitively in the genres of jazz, tap, and lyrical dance for 13 years. Jessica then studied modern dance at California State University, Long Beach where she earned a B.F.A. in Dance in 2005. For two years following graduation, Jessica danced with BARE Dance Company, a modern dance company based in Costa Mesa and directed by Mike Esperanza. While taking a break from performing in 2006, Jessica got married and earned her teaching credential in Physical Education. She now teaches dance full-time at Pasadena High School. She is delighted and honored to dance with Benita Bike’s DanceArt, since the company’s emphasis on both performing and educating audiences about modern dance is a perfect fit for Jessica’s twin passions of the arts and education. (Jessica is on maternity leave beginning January 2010.)
