Jess Grippo is a dancer, performer, writer, creativity coach, and the founder of You Can Dance Again and The Dance Rebel Leadership Training. After leaving her ballet career and being distanced from the dance world for years, she started making dance videos alone in her room. These DIY expressions would become the catalyst for reviving her creative expression and later transitioning her career back into dance - but this time, in her own way.
Since then, she’s been invited to speak and perform at TEDxNYU, Lincoln Center's Dance On Camera Festival, New York's Got Talent!, the New York Comedy Club, and more. Her programs and videos have been helping people for years to reclaim dance, feel at home in their bodies, and revive their creative expression.
