Jessica Graves Davis

  Jessica has a B.F.A. in Dance from Western Michigan University, where she studied ballet, jazz, modern, and tap.

​

Jessica lived in Los Angeles for many years and has danced and acted professionally for film, television, and the stage, including working with such artists as Jennifer Lopez, Conan O’Brien, and many more. She most recently worked on the film Willy’s Wonderland with Nicolas Cage, in the role of Siren Sara, where she worked as a dancer, actor, and stunt performer.

Jessica danced with The Honey Taps while living in Los Angeles.  She has worked with various other companies in LA, including The Top Hats and has danced in numerous productions at Universal Studios Hollywood.

She sits on the board of Fostering Dreams Project, an organization that teaches dance to foster youth.

She truly believes dance can help make a difference in the lives of foster and at-risk youth, and that being able to express yourself in art, enables people to have goals, dreams, and to work through difficulties in life that are sometimes impossible to put into words.
