   Dancing Through Life with Jada Boles

   Multi-disciplinary artist, performer, and teacher Jada Boles has quite the non-traditional career path. A Toledo native and Toledo School for the Arts graduate, Jada always felt the call to dance and pursued dance and acting while attending the Fashion Institute for Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. After graduating, working professionally, and continuing to train, Jada moved to New York City to train at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Now, after wrapping up several contracts, including a recent stint on Columbus' Short North Stage, Jada has moved back to Toledo to continue teaching her craft, auditioning when she can, and enjoying all her hometown has to offer as an adult.
