About Us

Originally from Tuxtla Gutierrez Chiapas, Mexico, Giovanna Jackson honed her competitive dance skills in International-style Latin Ballroom and American-style Rhythm at both Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University, all while completing her double bachelor’s degrees in Dance and Integrated Studies with emphasis in Business Management.

In 2009, Giovanna became a Director for the successful BYU Youth Ballroom Program and BYU Dance Department adjunct faculty member. As a Director, she proudly coached Pre-teen, Junior, and Youth teams not only to become finalists in upper divisions, but also champions. Since then, due to her love for dance, preparation, and success in competition, she has expanded her coaching services to many wonderful new couples and students.

“One of my highest career goals would be to share my love for dance and the opportunities I have been able to enjoy with my students here in America as well as in my home country.”

Giovanna continues to work and travel the world as a professional American Rhythm, Salsa, and West Coast Swing dancer. Begin your dancing dreams by working with a professional. No matter your skill level, Giovanna can help you master the steps.
