My name is Jessica Sanmarti and I was borned and raised in LA and am of Peruvian descent. I am an animal lover, movie enthusiast, Sci-Fi lover, Dragon Ball Z junkie, a big fan of anything Disney including Marvel and Star Wars, and an even bigger fan of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. In other words, I have a true passion for geek fandom and I am not afraid to express it. It is because of all of these worlds that I have developed an aspiration to push boundaries and be able to reach my goals. I wish to show this same desire of fearlessness and vigor to all learners. I graduated from Joe Blasco Makeup School and I also double majored and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Dance Choreography and Performance with an emphasis in Business Management from the University of California, Irvine. My passion has led me to perform with multiple choreographers based in LA and the OC All the while working as a makeup artist for events, music videos, and short films. Along the way I learned that I have a passion for teaching and got accepted to being a part of the first cohort for a teaching credential in Dance at CSU East Bay. After completing the credential program I became a candidate for the Masters program in Educational Technology.
I love to dance and I know I love to teach. I want to teach because of that extraordinary feeling when you know you have truly inspired and motivated kids to be their best. I have so much to give back due to my mentors, education, and experiences.
I created this website in fulfillment for my Master’s Program and to inspire all that anyone can learn about dance.
