✨ Welcome to High Pointe, Jemma! ✨

We are so excited to officially welcome Jemma Pecchia to our faculty!

Jemma brings nearly two decades of training in a pre-professional, competitive environment, with a strong foundation in Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, Tap, Lyrical, Pom, and Hip Hop. She is known for creating a positive, high-expectations environment where dancers feel both supported and challenged.

Most recently, she was a member of the Shockwave Collegiate Dance Team at Tulane University, serving as both Captain and Assistant Coach, where she led practices, mentored dancers, and helped guide the team through national-level competition experiences.

Jemma has already been stepping in and teaching a few classes this semester, and we have loved having her in the studio. We are so excited for her to be even more involved next season!

We can’t wait for our dancers to learn and grow with her this season 💜

We are proud to introduce our 2026 Summer Training Faculty.
