Hi, I’m Miss Jessie, franchisee for babyballet Dartford, Bexley, Bromley, and most-importantly Mum to my two wonderful sons, Rex and Arty.

I started dancing at the age of 3 and went on to train professionally at Arts Ed, London, where I gained my Diploma in Musical Theatre, later converting this to a BA Hons Degree in Performance Studies through City University.

I worked as a dancer and show girl across the UK and internationally before turning to teaching when I opened my babyballet franchise in January 2009.

As an Autism Mum I am hugely passionate about ensuring an inclusive environment at babyballet where all children feel welcomed and happy. I believe that every child should have the opportunity to dance with us and this led to the initiation and development of the babyballet Shine programme, our SEND-exclusive class.

In 2022 I was named ‘Star Performer’ and overall ‘Franchisee of the Year’ at the British Franchise Association Awards and in 2023 I went on to win ‘Franchisee of the Year’ at the European Franchise Federation Awards in Brussels.

I am so incredibly proud of my fantastic team of teachers who go above and beyond every day to ensure our little stars have the best time at their babyballet classes.
