ARIKA DIXON
JAZZ PROGRAM DIRECTOR
She’s got heart, hustle, and high expectations, and she brings all three to every jazz class she leads. As our Jazz Program Director, she’s the perfect blend of tough love and total devotion. She loves our dancers fiercely, and they know it but don’t expect to coast through class. She’ll push you, challenge you, and cheer the loudest when you finally nail that combo.
With a sharp eye for detail and a deep passion for performance, she’s shaping not just strong dancers, but strong humans. She believes in accountability, effort, and showing up ready to work. Her students may leave class sore and sweaty but always better than they came in.
She doesn’t just teach jazz, she lives it. And if you’re in her program? Get ready to be seen, supported, and seriously pushed to your potential.
