Jessica Gordon Academy of Performing Arts
About
Jessica Gordon’s Academy of Performing Arts is a dance studio in Winthrop that teaches dancers from beginner to advanced levels. Classes cover ballet, acro, tap and hip hop, with tracks for both recreational students and those who compete. The studio’s philosophy is that every child deserves a place to feel seen, encouraged and celebrated, and it uses dance to build confidence, kindness, discipline, friendships and a love of performing.
Founded in 2010, the studio is in its 17th season. Artistic director, choreographer and instructor Jessica Gordon has danced with the academy for more than 25 years, trained under Eleanor Rubino and Paula Terenzi, and holds a degree from Salem State University with a concentration in dance. She has competed regionally and nationally and has choreographed numerous school musicals in Lynnfield.
