Iyanna Rynn Jackson attends NYU Tisch School of the Arts, majoring in Dance and Technique. As she is technically a professional dancer by NYU standards, Jackson has goals to become a well known choreographer and dancer. Jackson is skilled in several dancing types such as modern contemporary, ballet, and hip-hop. Due to her love for the art, she is open to dancing and choreographing broadway, tv commercials, award show dancing and dance modeling. While Jackson began pointe dancing at the age of 12, she says it is by far one of the most challenging and painful. However, she does practice pointe every once in a while to keep in shape or to get a good foot stretch. After graduating from NYU next spring in 2023, Jackson has plans to move to Los Angeles and begin her dance journey.
