We are pleased to welcome Jada Boles to our summer faculty!

Her training spans Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, Tap, Hip-hop, Musical Theatre, and Horton.

Her professional experience spans stage, television, and live performance, including Wish at the El Capitan Theatre, national television on Let's Make a Deal, and work as a Principal Dancer for the Grey’s Anatomy Season 13 Release Party. She has also served as Dance Captain for The Wiz at Short North Stage, bringing both performance and leadership experience into her work.

Jada has taught dancers in both Los Angeles and the Midwest, bringing a grounded, high-level approach to every class. As an educator, she’s passionate about helping dancers strengthen their technique, expand their artistry, and build confidence in performance, creating a focused and encouraging environment where dancers are challenged to grow with both discipline and individuality.

Jada will be teaching Pre-Primary Ballet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, as well as Beginner/Intermediate Jazz, Intermediate/Advanced Jazz, Ballet Level 2, and Ballet Level 2.5. She is a fantastic educator and artist, and we are thrilled to have her join our faculty for the five-week summer session!
