Instructors

Jesse Smith-Dow has more than ten years experience as a professional dance instructor. He studied Mechanical Engineering at Temple University, where he earned his bachelors and masters degree. Endeavoring upon other passions Jesse had, he came across Ballroom and Latin dancing.

He started teaching for Arthur Murray Dance Studios. From there he moved on to Society Hill Dance Academy where he taught for several years, competed in competitions, and performed before large and small audiences throughout the Philadelphia area.

Now, he owns and operates his own studio where he currently instructs individuals and groups of people interested in learning how to dance. He loves sharing the joys of partner dancing with his clients.

His favorite saying is, "It's impossible to have two left feet!"
