Jessica Boddicker

A relentless dance-floor giggler, Jessica discovered a love for Lindy Hop upon moving up to the Bay Area where she immersed herself in workshops, lessons, and as much social dancing as she could find. She is currently training and performing with the swing dance group Eight Misbehavin’ and recently won 1st place in the 2013 Pro-Am Dance Competition at the 9:20 Special in San Francisco. In both life and dance, her focus revolves around play, solid communication, and appreciation of one another.
