Jamie Naranca is originally from New York and currently lives in Alexandria, Virginia. She studied Radiologic Technology at Orange County Community College but has dedicated over 12 years to teaching dance. Jamie specializes in working with the youngest dancers, and she teaches jazz, tap, ballet, and acro with a joyful and supportive approach.

This year, Jamie will be teaching at the McLean location. In her classes, dancers can expect to have fun while building their skills and confidence. Her advice for the year: “Never lose your love for dance in all aspects—whether it’s in a structured classroom, in the car, or in your PJs dancing in your living room!”
