Getting to Know You: Miss Jenn
Written by Joe Naftal on November 30, 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.

 

    

  • What is your favorite thing about teaching dance? My favorite thing about teaching dance is getting to watch my students grow week by week, month by month and year by year.

 

  • What’s the most daring thing you’ve done? Jump off a cliff in Bermuda.

 

  • What is your favorite childhood memory? Waking up one Christmas morning to find a pink and white brand new bike under the Christmas tree.

 

  • What is your favorite hobby? Not sure if it’s a hobby, but I really enjoy organizing and cleaning.

 

  • Who was your favorite dance teacher when you were a child, and why? My favorite teacher was Miss Camille. She was one tough cookie, who pushed and pushed us not to give up. Also, Miss Mary. Not only did she  teach me dance, but she also taught me life lessons.

 

  • What song would you sing at Karaoke? I Wanna Dance with Somebody
