My lessons with Jewel are a highlight of my week. She’s an amazingly talented and creative dancer and an infinitely patient teacher. I test her patience on a regular basis because my memory leaves something to be desired, at least when it comes to dancing. I would highly recommend her for a student at any level. Also, she always laughs at my jokes.
