Meet Jessica Maria Recinos, CEO

When I dance, I am elevated to an enhanced, raw version of myself. I am untouchable. unbothered. determined. My life has purpose as I twirl around the world pumping to my own beat. This is why I teach. to give this same motivation, drive and confidence to people around the world who may struggle to see themselves as worthy of love and acceptance. My passion is to help people live abundant lives through dance. Women in Business are often overlooked or deemed “bossy” and “ sensitive” when making executive decisions in the workplace. This is the exact reason that I work to create a space where people of all identities can thrive within a career in the performing arts. Dance will ALWAYS be there for you! Now it is time for you to show up for yourself! Let’s dance!

Founder
Jessica Recinos, a proud Latina dancer, choreographer and company director from San Francisco’s Excelsior neighborhood, has developed her own multidisciplinary dance style and aesthetic drawing from street dance forms, such as Vogue, Hip Hop and Afro-Latin dance forms. An experienced arts educator who has taught at LINES, SF School of the Arts and in the community dance program at SF Ballet, Jessica is gifted at working with, listening to, coaching, and sharing stories from young people. Through Rising Rhythm, the company she founded and directs, Jessica works with both professional and young artists to build the next generation of dance entrepreneurs and changemakers!

Their biggest inspirations are women in the community who have shown such courage and resiliency when it comes to fighting against injustice and societal norms. At Rising Rhythm, they promote body positivity & acceptance and mental/physical health, promoting healthy relationships and collaborations amongst adults while in a creative space with youth, dance business education through active mentorship and understanding the cultural relevance of a genre of dance and how it relates to fighting against injustice.

RR choreographs pieces “building upon the legends that came before, responding to community issues and stories, and laying the foundation for the future generation of cultural ambassadors we want to cultivate.” Recinos’s vision for her work is also about the importance of celebrating culture and finding joy.

Ashley Marie Smiley, Rising Rhythm collaborator, explains, “It is often quite easy to fall into a rhythm of dwelling on the past and negative moments in the present creating a path of future planning out of fear, but Rising Rhythm intends to flip that, look back in celebration, acknowledge the moment of growth we are in and framing a future out of the joy we deserve.”

Their Goals is to open up the first dance studio in excelsior district owned by a woman who grew up in the neighborhood and transform it into a Dance and Music hub where artists can teach, create, produce professional work and learn how to grow their own business to live more abundant lives with a career in the arts.
