Hello all!
My name is Jennifer. I am 23 and I'm from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
I have been teaching privately and at studios in my area for 5 years now. I have been dancing since I was 3 and competing since the age of 11 until I was 18. I've done ballet, jazz, lyrical, modern, hip hop, tap and some slasa and meregue. I have even taken some Baroque dance as well as early 17 century court dance.
Luckily my training continued at my university where I did a minor in dance (my major was English).
I have taught ages 3-60(there is quite a large age range of participants at my dance school), but I have to say the age from 6-8 is my favourite to instruct. Presently I am teaching ballet, jazz, tap and hip hop. As well as jazz competition classes.
I absolutely love what I do and not because I love the artform of dance but because my kids always try so hard and they really love it. Nothing is more rewarding rthan seeing your kids on stage at the end of the year and to see how they have improved in that short nine month period.
My mother saysI should give it up but I just can't. Dance wwas such a large part of my life and I don't want to let it go. Does that sound selfish? I am at my happiest when I am dancing and I just can't think of it not in some aspect of my life. I even had a job as a dance leader at a summer camp, I couldn't get enough.
Well that is enough for me.
Peace, Love and Luck always,
Jen |
