Miss Jesse Hoselton TCRG*

Over 15 years of experience teaching and choreographing for all ages and levels in America and China.

*TCRG is the teaching certification given by An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha. It allows a teacher's students to compete at authorized feiseanna. Here's a link to a little more information about certified teachers: TCRG*

Miss Jesse was raised on a ballet foundation, with sprinkles of jazz, modern, pointe, tap and Scottish dance. She began Irish dancing at age 15 with the McDonald School of Irish Dance in Syracuse and didn't let her late start prevent her from working her way up to championship level and then successfully passing the TCRG teaching certification test. Her experience teaching Irish dance began with assisting at the McDonald School and moved on to include the Irish dance team “The Blackbirds” that she founded at the College of Wooster.

After successfully passing into the championship level of competition, she moved to China and began teaching Irish dance there as well. Over three years in China, she taught, choreographed and performed Irish dance with dozens of students of all ages. She performed in the Irish dance show “The Journey Home” in Shanghai with the Drake School of Irish dance, the Shanghai Irish dance troupe “Celtic Storm” and renowned singer Katie Targett-Adams. She continued to choreograph and perform pieces with Celtic Storm that were danced at events all over Shanghai, including performances for the Consulate General of Ireland and in a Shanghai arts showcase as one of the top 50 dance teams in the city.

My incredible dancers in Shanghai made a compilation video of my time spent teaching and dancing with them. I cannot thank them enough for the time spent with them and hope that they keep dancing always.
