TEACHER BIO:
Jessica Montoya began her training in Classical Ballet, Jazz, and Tap at the age of four. Expanding her foundation, she explored Modern Dance and Gymnastics, as well as Flamenco, which led her to Valencia, Spain, where she immersed herself in its passion and soul.
Her repertoire continued to grow with Contemporary, Lyrical Jazz, and Hip Hop. In 2016, her love for Salsa took her to Havana and Santiago de Cuba, where she trained in Afro-Cuban dance, Salsa, Son, and Rumba, deepening her connection to rhythm, movement, and heritage.
As a dancer, instructor, choreographer, and performer, Jessica has had the privilege of sharing her love for dance across various platforms. She has taught at numerous dance studios and served as a board member for the Albuquerque Latin Dance Festival. Her career includes performances with the Gipsy Kings and choreography for film and television, including Deputy, Walker Independence, Cry Macho, Opus (A24 Films), and Netflix’s PULSE. She has also earned competition wins and coordinated cultural events.
Jessica has guided dancers of all levels, from studio students to professional performers, and has led immersive cultural dance experiences in Cuba. Dance is her heart and soul—a universal language that transcends barriers. Her mission is to inspire others to embrace movement, express themselves authentically, and experience the transformative joy that dance has brought into her life.
