Meet Jiani! Since a young age, Jiani has been heavily engrossed in the arts. As a youth, she spent most evenings at an afterschool program where she was introduced to the arts. Her grandfather, Tunisi Jack Davis, instilled values of African culture and arts into her family life and the lives of those within their community. After years of training in African, Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hiphop, and Modern dance, Jiani went on to perfect her craft at Manhattanville College and Southern CT State University. During college she explored dance and theater where she fell in love with the freedom of the arts. She graduated with her B.A. in Psychology and minor in Theater.
​
Since graduation, Jiani has taken the path to become an educator to pour into the youth around her. After 10 years of working with the autistic population, she began to work with children of all abilities within the inner city, which led to her dream job of being a Dance Teacher. As a Dance teacher for the distirct, she realized the abundant need for quality art programming for families of low-income. With her love for the arts and education, Jiani strives to create an outlet for the creative child who feel most at home when performing!
"The arts saved my life, and I know there are other kids out there that need the arts as I did!" -Jiani
