Jerisse Bolton Grantham is the owner of the Jeffie Jean Studio and the daughter of the legend Miss Jeffie. The studio celebrated "85 Years of Magic" at their annual dance revue last June. In 1941, Jeffie Jean started instructing numerous students, opening her studio, and choreographing many shows in the Baton Rouge area. That is when Miss Jeffie's legacy began.

​

Tap has always been the love of all Jeffie Jean Dancers and is the studio's strongest discipline today. Jerisse's training and background in tap technique, choreography and her creativity has won the studio many tap production awards over the years. Jerisse is an adjunct faculty member at Tulane University teaching their Advanced Tap class for 24 years.
