Jennifer's Philosophy

​

Jennifer's passion has always been with movement and creating in the world of dance.  She finds the entire process of choreographing enticing; from the experimentation of ideas, creation of movement, through to seeing the final product in action. She embraces the failures, the redirection, and the successes that come from teaching her work and facilitates the building of this resilience in others. Jennifer hopes to inspire, educate and bring others together by sharing her love of dance.

​

Beginning her dance journey at age six, Jennifer found dancing provided an excellent mechanism for growing her confidence and motivation and is excited to share this. Dance enabled the creation of friendships, memories and challenges that have shaped who she is today.  It has been Jennifer's life-long dream to open up her own dance establishment and support others to enjoy these experiences.​

​

Jennifer has always believed in the positive impact, strength and power that the arts give individuals in our society. The arts provide the power of a voice, the power of opportunity, and exploration of identity. She hopes through her studio she will be helping to build and influence the creative sector in the greater community.
