Jessica Ann Nail (aka Jes Ann Nail) has been dancing since the young age of three. Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Gymnastics is where she started and in High school Jes was also a Competitive Cheerleader. In college, she added Yoga, Modern, Hip Hop, and Salsa to the mix which eventually led her to a Ballroom Teacher Training program at Fred Astaire Dance Studios (in 2005).

After teaching, competing, and performing on the American Ballroom circuit for 5 years, Jes started to direct her attention toward, West Coast Swing (WCS).

Her love for WCS continues to grow as she travels all over the world teaching, performing, DJing, judging, and competing.

I had a hard time choosing and finding a place to do wedding dance lessons. So many places are so expensive or are unclear about their pricing structure. Danznik was upfront about everything and had the perfect package. Over 4 lessons we learned a full 2 minute dance. Our instructor catered the dance to our abilities and adjusted over time as she saw how we moved together. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to have a choreographed first dance!

I've been going to Danznik for the past 6 months to learn west coast swing and I love it. The teachers are all incredible (shout out Jes Ann for her Wednesday night classes!). They host amazing socials both on several days throughout the week, along with a couple bigger once a month socials. Highly recommended checking out House of West (especially on the first Wednesday of the month for J&J night) and Flow Fridays!

I started dancing WCS about 7 months ago, learning from Joe & Jes Ann. They are both great dancers and teachers in their unique ways. I have kept coming back and taking their lessons and group classes. The condition of the floor is very good. The space is sufficient for social parties. The staff is always friendly and resourceful. Best of all is the people I met here. Dancing is pure joy. You see smiles all the time.

I've been going to Danznik as a beginner for west coast swing for almost 2 years. They have lots of classes and dance socials to get you accustomed to the dance community. And everyone is very welcoming as I've made some great friends during this time. Jes Ann's classes provide a great intro to WCS and continued learning as well!
