Instructor Biography

Jesse Jacobson '13 (jajacobson@wesleyan.edu) is a junior Anthropology/Psychology double major.  Two summers ago, in an ongoing effort to boost his physical well-being, he wandered into a Zumba class in Seattle, and has never grumpily set foot on a treadmill since.  This past summer, he underwent the Zumba Instructor Training in the hopes of sharing with the world what has transformed the way he and so many others view exercise--as an exciting, fun activity that need not be dreaded. 

Jesse has been dancing in informal capacities for many years. He has been an avid listener of hip-hop, and an all-around goofball, since infancy.
