About Jennifer B.

5.0

(11)

Hi! I am Jennifer, a professional dancer with Ballets With a Twist, a NYC-based company that tours the United States. I have been teaching ballet and tap for twelve years, and graduated Cum Laude from Butler University with a BA in Dance Pedagogy. I also teach for two studios in NYC. It is important in my class that students not only develop their technique, but experience the joy that comes when you are fully immersed in class. Each body is different, and a dancer's body is a body who dances. I teach my clients, no matter their age, to bring their personality into their movement. My classroom is a place where we have celebrations of success, we work on improvement, and use positive approaches in order to achieve maximum results. I want to know you as a person, not just a student! Whether you are looking to take lessons recreationally or are a serious student wishing to refine your technique, my class will help you reach your goals!

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.

Ages 3-9 years I teach Creative Ballet and Ballet/Tap combo classes to ages 3-6 years, and then as the students become more serious, ballet training becomes more focused. at 7 years, a student is ready to learn how to use a barre for their ballet warm up and then progress into the center for a full ballet class!
