Jordan Higby is 27 years old and has been a teaching artist at CYT Tri-Valley since 2016. Jordan’s passion for the arts began at age 6 when she began dancing ballet at Livermore School of Dance (LSOD). Now, 20 years later, ballet remains an integral part of who she is, so much so that she is now a ballet teacher on staff at LSOD herself! She also enjoys dancing and teaching lyrical, jazz, musical theater, and tap dance! Jordan has always had a passion for comedy. Making others laugh, whether that’s from an off the cuff remark, or a planned out joke, Jordan thrives when she’s riffing bits! When not teaching at LSOD and CYT, Jordan can be found substitute teaching for the Livermore School District! Jordan graduated from California Baptist University (CBU) in 2022 with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies, and in 2024 with a Master of Arts in Strategic Communication. Though she tried to major in Comedic Arts before CBU cut the program. Her eventual career goal is working in Social Services in the division of Child Welfare. No matter where her professional life takes her, she hopes to always have the time to teach and guide the next generation of performers!
