Jess Graeme
Jess has been dancing since the age of 2, with training across ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, and pointe. She went on to double major in Dance and Psychology at the University of Iowa, and began her teaching career after graduating in 2018.
Now a full-time instructor at Dance Center Chicago, Jess teaches dancers of all ages—from preschoolers to adults—in styles including salsa, bachata, ballroom, lyrical, and her personal favorite, West Coast Swing.
Over the past several years, Jess has trained and competed in West Coast Swing, falling in love with both the artistry and community of the style. She is deeply passionate about supporting the growth of the Chicago West Coast Swing scene, and is thrilled to be teaching at WCW for the very first time!
