ABOUT Arcana
arcana
ARCANA is a fusion dance showcase based in Northern New Jersey. We welcome bodies of all abilities, genders, races, shapes, sizes — we believe dance is for anybody with any body.
At ARCANA, movement is more than performance — it can be a way to express our truth, tell stories, and connect. We offer space to feel deeply, build community, and create magic together through dance.
All are always welcome here.
the producer
ARCANA is produced and curated by Jessica Lynne, a New Jersey-based fusion dance teacher and performer.
Her movement roots span lyrical, jazz, and American Cabaret Belly Dance, and she's a certified ITS (Improv Team Sync) instructor. Alongside her dance partner and “dance wife for life,” she performs as one half of the fusion duo The Gerudo Vagrants, known for captivating stages across the tri-state area and East Coast.
Offstage, Jessi proudly wears the title of “Internet Mom Friend.” As a spoonie, she’s a not-so-quiet advocate for those with invisible illnesses.
When she’s not dancing, you’ll find her gaming (complaining about Overwatch), diving into Devil May Cry, reading, drawing, or deep in a cosplay crunch. By day, Jessi manages a team of audio and web engineers—proving that magic can happen both on and off the dance floor.
