My favourites are Lyrical, Commerical and I love gymnastics and learning new tricks.I am so excited to have been chosen to be a dance idol and I am so grateful to Destination Dance for this amazing opportunity.

My name is Jessica Surman, I am 17 years old and have been dancing with American Dance School for the last 5 years. I train in ballet, jazz, musical theatre, contemporary, lyrical, commercial and improvisation. Even just hearing the word ‘dance’ fills me with so much joy. Since putting on my first pair of ballet shoes only 5 years ago, I have been fascinated by the idea that we can move without speaking and how we can express our very own feelings just by creating movement with our body. I am very grateful for this incredible opportunity.
