Performing Art – Los Angeles
Founded in September of 2009, JAGGED is a contemporary dance company that fuses aerial pole work with concert and commercial dance. We strive to break the negative stereotype associated with pole dance, and to show audiences the artistic and athletic side of it. Jagged\'s dancers are primarily trained dancers who have recently stumbled into the amazing world of pole. We have two companies: JAGGED West located in Los Angeles, CA, led by Sarah Mann, and JAGGED South located in Nashville, TN, directed by founder Jessica Anderson-Gwin. We also have a smaller 6 member crew (Jag6ed) that has been seen on America\'s Best Dance Crew, Season 6. JAGGED West won their first International title at the International Pole Masters Cup Championship in 2012 and was also named LA\'s Best Performing Artist of 2012 by RAW Artists.
Keep an eye out for \"Off the Floor: The Rise of Contemporary Pole Dance\", a documentary featuring JAGGED, created by the amazing husband/wife team Matthew and Katie Celia. Check out the movie trailer included here in our profile!
