“Having taken dance classes in the Greenville Upstate area for several years, I decided to add Jaidra’s classes to my rotation because I had seen her perform and was quite impressed with her professionalism and technique. Jaidra’s classes are excellent, with an emphasis on technique and dance history.
Jaidra constantly and consistently continues her own studies in dance, which not only increases her dance growth, but it also inspires her students and benefits our own study. I highly recommend Jaidra to anyone who is interested in dance and the arts in our Greenville community! – Sheila C.
