“Jenn’s” interest in dance began at a very young age. She began training in ballet and tap at the age of 5. When she started taking classes at the Dance Arts Center in San Mateo Jenn discovered her love for jazz and performing. She competed in dance competitions throughout high school with performing groups from all over the bay area. After high school Jenn continued her training in dance at San Jose State University, and graduated in 2002 with a BA in Child Development. For the last five years she worked while going to school, teaching dance to students from 18 months to advanced adults. She also assisted with the administrative responsibilities of the studio. Jenn brought her creative talents to the students and choreographed competitive routines for competitions. She has always dreamed of opening her own dance studio so she would be able to teach her one true love-dance! She is very excited to be working with the Bettencourt’s to help create the Dance Zone.
