JoDee Spencer
JoDee Spencer is married to the best guy around, and together they have four children. Besides her family, dancing is her passion. She has 20+ years of dancing experience in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, modern, and ballroom. She competed in her younger years in the Stars Program in Bountiful, Utah, and took ballet lessons from The Bountiful School of Ballet. She was on her high school Drill Team, where she earned many top awards, choreographed numerous dances, and attended many camps and classes.
JoDee has had the opportunity to take classes in New York City from dance companies such as Martha Graham, Alvin Ailey, and Paul Taylor. She has worked with amazing dancers and choreographers along the way, including Emmy award–winning choreographer Bonnie Story (High School Musical) and Bonnie Pierce (2001 honoree in Disney’s American Teacher Awards in Dance).
She taught dance at Excel Dance in Layton, Utah, for two years and has been teaching in Star Valley at Dezi’s Dance Studio since 2016. In the past, she has taught tap and intensive lyrical/jazz. She is the ballroom teacher for the studio, and that program has grown from six original students to sometimes over 80 in a season. JoDee is also a coach for the Performing Teams at the studio.
