Meet our instructors
Savanah H
Savanah began taking dance classes at age 4 in Crawfordville, FL. In elementary school, she was invited to be part of the competitive dance team. She loved this opportunity to grow and to learn from other dancers across the country. In middle school, Savanah auditioned and received an invitation to join the Tallahassee Ballet Company where she performed in the Nutcracker and Peter Pan. She became a dance instructor at Studio 88 Dance Productions in 2010 and fell in love with the art all over again. “Watching children gain a passion for dance while working hard week after week to master new moves and tricks is so rewarding as a teacher.” Savanah has experience in many styles of dance including ballet, tap, jazz, and lyrical/contemporary. Until 2016, Savanah regularly taught classes at Studio 88. Since then she has remained a substitute teacher and continues to volunteer time with the dance studio periodically. She is thrilled to bring dance back into her life regularly and to share it with the children at The Salvation Army in Tallahassee.
Bess B
Bess Baker has balanced her professional career with helping to inspire a love for the arts in the next generation. Since 1992, Bess has helped young musicians and seasoned performers alike in developing their skills in piano, voice and stage presence. A professional, singer/songwriter, actress and director from Washington D.C., Bess has performed since the age of five and was trained in music theatre at the prestigious Carnegie-Mellon University theatre arts school. She was selected as one of only five women accepted in a nationwide audition. At Carnegie-Mellon, Bess studied classical piano with the renowned John Swartzoff, Juilliard graduate.
Ryan
Lt. Ryan began learning the guitar in 2013. He now enjoys teaching others almost as much as he loves playing. He believes that teaching music to youth provides them with skills much more more than music. Learning to play an instrument provides kids with confidence, leadership, and perseverance.

With the holiday season approaching and the potential for colder temperatures, a fourth-grade student named Zoey Brown sprang into action.
Zoey, who attends PVPV-Rawlings Elementary School in Ponte Vedra, Florida, was inspired by The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program and, with a bit of help from her family, she created the “Tree of Warmth,” attracting attention from across the Jacksonville area.
Zoey, whose grandmother, Pam Brown, is the sister of Major Candice Biggers, drew her initial inspiration from an otherwise innocuous conversation during a family dinner.
“From my understanding, the trigger for this initiative was a conversation we were having during dinner with Pam, her husband, Steve, and their grandchildren,” said Major Keath Biggers, Jacksonville area commander.
“We were discussing the Angel Tree, and one of the children, Bronx, began calling it the ‘Homeless Tree’ by mistake. We..
