Hi! My name is Jen and I have a passion for introducing new students to dance and exploring the many ways that dancing can improve your whole life. With over 15 years of teaching experience, I understand that everyone is drawn to dance for different reasons. Some people want to learn a new skill and show off some cool new moves on the dance floor, while some want to have a fun way to get some exercise and increase their mobility and overall health. Some people take dance lessons because they want to spend some quality time with a significant other, to meet new friends or to prepare for a special event such as a wedding or a quinceanera. I understand that the reasons that bring people into a dance studio are unique as the individuals themselves, and I make it a priority to learn those reasons and approach every student in a way that helps them thrive and get the most from their dance classes.

Anyone Can Dance comes from the idea that is as simple as it sounds. Too often I see people who have put off learning to dance because they feel they aren’t ready, they feel they wouldn’t be good at it, or they are nervous that they will look silly. All of these are very common concerns, so it is my mission to create an environment where these worries melt away. My priority is to provide a safe learning environment that is non-judgmental, encouraging and makes learning to dance fun and easy. More often than not, my students tell me that their only regret is that they wish they started dancing sooner!

I have experience teaching over 20 different types of partner dance including rumba, cha cha, several types of swing, hustle, salsa, samba, waltz, tango, foxtrot, quickstep and many more dances. As a former competitor, I have extensive technical training and have trained with some of the top coaches in the world. Over my years of teaching, I have developed a system that makes learning this information easy and accessible for anyone willing to learn. Teaching dance is truly my passion and I would love to have the opportunity to get you started dancing!
