Our Teachers
Jana Tompson
Teaching is an absolute passion of mine! I have worked with children in early childhood education for the past 20 years. Early in my career I spent time teaching at the Utah School for the Deaf and Blind and then worked at a number of preschools before opening my own academy in Idaho. My family recently moved back to Utah to take care of my father who is suffering from Alzheimer's. It was hard to leave my community of students, but I am excited to build a new program here at Utah Dance Academy.
I attended Weber State University and BYU Idaho and have received all of my state certification and training. But, most important, I know how to communicate with children in a way that makes learning fun and long lasting. Preschool is the best place to be! Thanks for being part of our program.
