Jay began teaching in the original 8th Ave studio in New York, then moved with the studio to 56th Street, where he taught alongside, as well as studied with, Romana Kryzanowska and John Winters.

Over the years Jay’s clients have ranged from stars of Broadway and Hollywood, music and opera, to politicians, businessmen, housewives, and Olympic athletes. He currently provides ongoing training to instructors, conducting workshops and master classes around the world. www.jaygrimes.com
