Passion for Dance
Anna Jones
Enrolling in dance class as a child, I found my passion. Dancing my way through life has been the outlet I needed to survive.
A graduate of Betty Hill Dance Studios in Des Moines, IA,
I studied a wide variety of dance styles. Known for my intricate musicality, tap quickly became my signature style. But as with every dancer, we love many other styles. I love it all!
The emotion of lyrical, the flow of contemporary, the fun of jazz and hip hop and the technique and tradition of ballet.
​
Aside from dance, my greatest accomplishment is being a mom to my three girls. Sometimes you know what you were born to do, mine is being a mom and a dancer!
​
Other fun facts about me:
I love to travel (especially to visit my college girls playing in the band on game days. Go Iowa State Cyclones and Oregon Ducks!)
I love coffee. Like a lot!
My favorite color is blue and my favorite food is strawberries.
I LOVE football and my favorite team is the Green Bay Packers!
​
I would love to share my passion with you!
Senior Solo - 1996
