I am a director, choreographer and teacher. I founded The Outlaw Style Thrance Company in 1987.  I produced, directed and choreographed in the Boston area until 1997 and then re-formed my company in Los Angeles (www.thrance.info)

"Since 1998, movement maverick Jessica Schroeder has evolved a self-defined aesthetic in her own Outlaw Style Thrance Company. The iconoclastic collaborative discipline inverts, and reinvents traditional dance and acting techniques in whole-hearted, imaginative ways." - LA Times

"Schroeder’s choreography is superb, never self-conscious but always original, even as she appropriates popular dance and ballet moves. Above all, she finds the narrative line in the choreography." 
- Backstage West

In 2009 I came back East and became a mom. As I participated in various play groups and dance/movement/music classes with my daughter, I realized that, with my experience and skills, I could create something different and unique for children.

I have now been teaching Thrance classes and workshops for toddlers to 12 year olds since 2013. I have taught my classes within programs (Salem YMCA Early Learning Center, For Kids Only Afterschool,  Malden Coordinated Family and Community Engagement), in schools (Nathaniel Bowditch Elementary, Metro North Children's Learning Center, and The Rockland Montesorri Academy) as well as independently.
