“Working with JBP is an amazing experience. I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to

work with such a creative person.” – Jennifer Barnes

“My experience with Jazz Baptiste has been memorable. She is a true professional. I

worked on her SambaRet production as House Manager. She maintained her integrity

and stayed true to the objectives of her production. She adhered to the time constraints

of the venue and stayed prepared for opportunities to present her talent and vision. As

a student, I watched her diligently hone her craft and select music and dancers to

represent the artistry she choreographed.” – Francesca Lowe

“Jazz Baptiste brought an elegant ease to all the events we created together in the dance

troupe Gypsy Duende. Dancing and co-creating with Jazz is always pleasurable.” –

Leilainia, Co-Founder of The Shimmy Sisters and Nomad Artz Entertainment

“I LOVE SambaRet! That was a super sexy, great, great show!” – JB

"I have had the pleasure of working with Jazz as a dancer in several shows. Her passion and

dedication to her art are evident in every detail. She always maintains a cheerful attitude of

professionalism, making sure I am clear about all the details including venue, payment, call

time, and costuming so I am fully prepared, and delivers high class entertainment to all her

clients. I definitely recommend Jazz Baptiste Productions to anyone seeking fun and

exciting entertainment." – Laura Dasi
