Jacob grew up in San Jose, California. He found his love for dance at the age of 15, and had the natural abilities to do so. He immediately started working hard, and quickly excelled in his craft. Jacob started to train in acrobatics and contortion as well. Acrobatics and dance soon became a huge part of his life, doing it all day everyday. Since he started later he’s spent years perfecting his craft and learning new things. Jacob loves being an artist when it comes to the both, and he would self-choreograph his award winning competition solo pieces, also made his own costumes so they looked exactly how he wanted. He later then got a job working as an acrobatic instructor/choreographer at numerous studios in the Bay Area. He recently moved to LA, and has taught at numerous studios and has started to branch out into his dance/acrobatic/choreographer career. I want to bring more positivity to the dance community, and that all starts in the classroom. Anything is possible if you put the work in :)
