Written by Joe Naftal on October 25, 2019

Today we are featuring Miss Jenn in our latest edition of “Getting to Know You”!  The “Getting to Know You” series helps us get to know each of the Dance Connection teachers and staff we get to see at the studio every week and learn a little bit more about them.

Why do you love teaching at Dance Connection? I absolutely Love teaching at Dance Connection because here as a professional we have the freedom to be free with this beautiful art. Also there is no other second family I would rather spend my days with!

What’s the best way for dancers to approach your class?   Happy, ready to learn, open minded, and knowing that they can come to me if needed.          

What’s the best way for parents to support their dancers?  listen to your dancer, let them learn at the speed they are suppose too.

What do you do in your spare time? When I get some spare time, I like to kick back and relax with good company

What’s your go-to coffee order? If It’s iced coffee it would be Cameral and Mocha with skim milk, and hot seasonal pumpkin spice, and any Christmas signature drinks from Starbucks.

What’s your favorite vacation spot? Any hot weathered climate with a BEACH

What’s your favorite local restaurant? I definitely eat at a lot of local restaurants but I will say Da Noi  Italian Restaurant
