Momentum School of Dance has been Ramicah’s dream since a very early age. All roads have led to this venture. A desire to provide the community with a school that is dedicated to the nurturing and development of all dancers, inspired Ramicah to leap into this wonderful opportunity. After studying dance and working at Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles, Ramicah returned to Minnesota bringing with her some of the newest crazes in hip hop, jazz and lyrical. Ramicah is a former competitive dancer and instructor of Center Stage Dance Academy of Richfield, Minnesota, where she had the opportunity to study many forms and styles of dance. An alumnus of the Southwest Laker Dance Team, she returned to the team to coach through four very successful seasons. During her coaching term, Ramicah studied dance locally and became a member of the MR2 Hip Hop Crew, a dancer for Nu Vibe Records and for Knight Productions. Ramicah has worked with many local dance studios, show choirs, dance teams and community education programs teaching dance to all ages. She also is very proud of her 5-year term as head junior varsity and assistant varsity coach for the state champion Knightette Dance Team of Benilde-St. Margaret’s. Ramicah has also been honored with eighteen choreography and entertainment awards from regional dance competitions. Thank you to all that have dedicated numerous hours and have supported Momentum School of Dance and our mission. This dream would not have come to life without you.

As Momentum enters its 17th year, we celebrate all of our students and are proud to call Momentum a family.

At GCU, Jordan trained extensively in modern, jazz, ballet, tap, hip hop, improvisation and choreography. She performed in numerous faculty concerts and student-led showcases while also premiering original choreographic works. In 2025, her piece Transcendental8 was selected for presentation at the American College Dance Association’s Northwest Conference, highlighting her emerging choreographic voice.

As an educator, Jordan is committed to creating technically rigorous yet supportive spaces where dancers feel empowered to grow. She encourages creative exploration and individuality in her classes. She focuses on developing strong foundations by using anatomy-based corrections and training dancers to understand the musical and physical intention behind their movement. Jordan also prioritizes building a strong sense of community by celebrating progress, fostering peer collaboration, and modeling professionalism in the studio. She believes dancers thrive when they feel seen, supported, and challenged and is passionate about helping the next generation discover their full artistic potential.
