I have been taking several lessons per week with Jennifer for sixteen months now! I am sixty and never did ballet before I started online lessons during Covid. Jennifer is phenomenal. She is there every lesson with a well thought out plan and marvelous positive energy and cheerfulness. Her ability to teach and to explain in a way I understand and can translate into my body movements is superb. The experience for me is so joyful. I look forward to each lesson with anticipation. - Michael R., Student
I knew from the instant I met Jennifer that she was serious about dance. I don't offer this with any negative connotation, but rather as a proclamation of the desire, focus and attention to detail that it takes to achieve success in this field. Jennifer's work ethic has always stood as a beacon of light along the path that one should follow to fully embrace the challenges of the dance world and to fully appreciate the beauty of dance. She has continued to embrace the curiosity that leads to discovery and I'm sure she nurtures that curiosity in her peers and in her students. Her pleasant demeanor can lighten the weight that often accompanies the work of the arts. I always encourage my students to challenge themselves; finding the range of their limitations and seeking to broaden that range. I see that quality in Jennifer and know that she will challenge her students to be better through encouragement, instilling the love of dance with the discipline that is necessary for success. A wonderful person, a caring teacher, and a serious artist. Isn't that what a good teacher should be? - Derek Reid, Mentor
Jennifer's teaching style is a great hybrid between a technique-driven, traditional curriculum and a wholesome appreciation for the joy and spirit that keeps dance as a universal language. Students not only gain an understanding of the vocabulary but a safe space to develop discipline, strength and confidence. She is dedicated to not only providing safe and polished technique and artistry but also to learning from her students and seeking out ways to improve herself. - Robyn, Co-Teacher

Jennifer has a wealth of knowledge in ballet and the arts in general. She is highly capable of imparting this knowledge within her students. Jennifer has always been an enthusiastic and curious life long learner which has enabled her to grow and develop into an exceptional artist, teacher, and person. She truly cares for her students and is highly adept in preparing them for future study and/or careers in dance. Because she is so deeply invested in her students, she is not only capable of teaching them the skills necessary for a future in the arts, she is also able to instill discipline, confidence, and a true love and passion for dance. I highly recommend her as a teacher, coach, and mentor for all ages. Jennifer has a unique gift for ensuring the success of her students. The skills which she imparts to all of her students will become invaluable assets for the rest of their lives. - Laura Byram, Mentor
Jennifer is not only an amazing kindhearted person, but also an excellent coach. She is patient and willing to go the extra mile to ensure proper understanding and that her students get the best education they can. I’ve personally worked with her myself and if I could recommend anyone as a teacher- it would be her in a heartbeat. - Margaret, Student
