THE AAD STORY
AAD owner Jessica Goldman has been creating a dance movement since 2005. Jessica’s love for dance has impacted and touched countless lives. She started All About Dance because she wanted to give every child the opportunity to learn how to dance in a loving, welcoming, and nurturing environment that teaches children how to be both beautiful dancers and incredible humans. Jessica is one of those people you will never forget. Her endless energy, love, and passion can fill up any room. Through this dance movement, it is essential to Jessica that all of our teachers are not only phenomenal teachers but are also incredible humans who have a positive influence on all of the children and people who enter AAD. Jessica’s dreams are a lot like her love, it is endless, and at All About Dance, we teach children that through passion, hard work, and dedication, anything is possible.
