Elena sat down with Jessy to talk about why ballet belongs at the foundation of every child’s education, skateboarding included. Jessy has spoken about how his mother’s classical ballet background shaped his own discipline and focus — and how the same grounding helps the kids he coaches channel their energy safely once they hit the skate park.
“Ballet connects mind & body. Football players, basketball players, and marshal artists take ballet classes. I strongly believe that ballet will help you to understand who you are” say Champion Pro Skateboarder, Jessy Jean Bart in a revealing interview with Elena Alexandra about his life journey. In this interview Jessy talks that his own struggles and discoveries have inspired his drive to empower young people of today.
