Jessica Sutta was born in Miami, Florida to a father of Russian/Polish Jewish descent and a mother of Irish descent. She grew up with two older brothers, Billy and Kevin. She started dance classes at the age of three. She went to the New World School of the Arts at age fourteen to study dance. She tore the ACL on both knees and switched to theater studies, before finally returning to dance. She joined the Miami Heat dance team in 1999 and became captain in 2001.
