Jordan Drew began her dance training under the tutelage of the late Timothy M. Draper at the Draper Center for Dance Education in Rochester, New York. While training, she was awarded many prestigious honors, including the “Hope Award” and “Top 12 Finalist” at the Youth America Grand Prix Finals in New York City. She won scholarships to both the American Ballet Theater Summer Intensive and the Paris Opera Ballet School. In 2008, she continued her training at Alonzo King’s LINES Ballet Training Program, performing in King’s ballet “Long Flat Dry Plain” at the Monaco Dance Forum in Monte Carlo. Later, she went on to join the San Francisco-based contemporary ballet company dawsondancesf until 2017. Jordan recently finished 7 years as the principal character role of “Eleanor Rigby” in The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas. Jordan has since joined The Ballet Championships of America as both a judge and educator and as a Cirque du Soleil Casting Partner.
