Highland Hustle is proud to present Jessica McCormick (formerly Mcleod-Dent) as the North American Highland Hustle Hero, helping to support and inspire others!
Jessica's expertise was picked up immediately during her training by company founder Gillian in 2018. Her classes are always led with a smile and are full of fun.
Jessica's teaching style is excellent and she puts her own personality on the Highland Hustle class concept which I loved immediately
Jessica says she is excited to take on this new role and loves her Highland Hustle classes.
Jessica’s proudest dance moments include winning a Gold Medal at the famous World Highland Dance Championships where she was first Runner Up. She began dancing at the age of six and won numerous Championships across Canada and the United States during her dance career and trained under the expert guidance of Sandra Bald Jones and her Mum, Marjorie-Anne Dent.
With a diverse background in dance and fitness, Jessica brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to every class. She expanded her dance knowledge through ballet and modern dance, and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance from York University.
As a certified Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor and busy Mum of two, Jessica has experience in tailoring classes to different fitness and experience levels. She strives to make everyone feel welcome and have fun in Highland Hustle classes because the biggest take-away from her long dancing career is the friendships that were built through dance.
We are delighted to have Jessica on board as a Highland Hustle Hero and look forward to her inspiring many more people to take the leap whether to join in classes, train as an Instructor and even help us raise the profile of Highland Dance in general.
It is great to have you as our Hustle Hero for North America Jessica. How cute is this early dance picture from 1982?!!!!
