I'm Jessica Jackman. I have been teaching ballet and lyrical dancing for more than ten years. I was mentored by a dear friend LaKrisha Moore and taught for her for years in Sikeston and Cape Girardeau. 

I have always enjoyed dancing, my mom always allowed me to dance freely at home, and I was blessed enough to be able to attend a church where I could dance to worship as a young lady. It is always been my heart's desire to create a place where other gifted dancers can come and worship together. 

I am married to my husband Thomas Jackman, blended We have six children. Ages 15 to 5. I love my large family. I wouldn't trade it for the world. All of our kiddos are homeschooled, and it has been such a huge blessing for us. 

Armed with Moves was created to arm dancers with the the movements they need to be able to worship freely with dance. 

I start classes with stretching and barre practice. We work on technique, flexibility, and movement while in class. We spend time in choreography and We also discuss Bible verses and how they apply to our lives while in class. We always finish class with an opportunity to dance freely to worship. 

Jeremiah 31:13:

“Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness.” 

Alexis Jackman, daughter of Jessica Jackman, brings five years of dance experience to her new role as a student teacher. Alexis has also honed her teaching skills by serving as an assistant for the past three years. 

I'm Skylar Francis and I am a recent graduate from Perryville High School with a strong passion for the musical arts. I have been doing musicals, plays and chamber choir through out my middle and high school years. I found colorguard my first year of high school and instantly fell in love with it. I was co-captain my second year and captain my last two years.

My classes will be focused on the techniques and fundamentals of colorguard. We will be doing a group performance at the end of every semester. My students will not only learn flag work but also build confidence and strengthen their abilities along their journey.

Colorguard has been a huge part of my life and I can't wait to share it with others.

Psalms 20:5:

Then we will rejoice that you have been helped. We will fly our flags in the name of our God. Let the Lord fulfill all your requests
