Being a student of dance from the age of 4, Jo’s lifelong dream was to be the director of a successful performing arts school. Jo started Lee Academy at the age of 17 as a student teaching her high school dance group, this small group then quickly flourished to include young students who are now Lee Academy Teachers.
