Getting to Know You: Miss Jenn!
Written by Joe Naftal on January 26, 2021

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 dance?  I love to teach dance because I love that I get to share my love for this amazing art with the younger generations. 
  • What is an accomplishment you’re most proud of? I think just loving my life for me day by day, and keeping a positive outlook. As well as being apart of the Dance Connection family.
  • Who is your hero and why? My Mom is my hero she has shown me that I can do anything and what it means to work hard.
  • If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? I think it would be anything Italian.
  • What do you do in your spare time? In my spare time I enjoy relaxing at home and going out to dinner.
  • What’s your favorite vacation spot? There are still so many places I want to explore, but I loved Ireland, and St Martin
