The Academy of Performing Arts founder and instructor Shoni Jaeger is a dancer to her core.
Growing up in a dance studio her mother operated in Iowa City, Jaeger was a “stone’s throw” from Chicago where she attended weekend dance classes to study. With dreams of dancing professionally, she began an apprenticeship with the premier dance company, Joffrey Ballet.
“I studied under one of their company members. It was a program to see if this is what you really want to do inside the world of professional dancing,” Jaeger said.
