Meet Ms Jenny
I started dancing when I was three, and dance has been part of my life ever since. But as I've grown as a dancer, teacher, and now studio owner, I've realized something:
The things that matter most aren't always the things that happen on the dance floor.
Of course, I want dancers to learn strong technique. I want them to feel challenged, see themselves improving, and experience the excitement of mastering something new. But I also want them to feel like they belong.
I want them to feel comfortable being themselves, supported when something feels hard, and proud of the progress they're making. I want them to build friendships, find confidence, and discover that they're capable of more than they thought. This is what led me to create JB Dance Studio.
I wanted to build a studio where dancers aren't just learning choreography—they're known, encouraged, challenged, and celebrated along the way. And some of my favorite feedback from our families isn't about a perfect performance or a new skill. It's hearing that their dancer is becoming more confident. That they feel included. That they love coming to class. That they've made friends. That they leave class happy. Those are the moments that remind me why I built this studio in the first place.
My background in dance, business, education, and performance has shaped the way I teach and lead JB Dance Studio. But at the heart of everything I do is something much simpler:
I want every dancer who walks through our doors to feel that they belong here—and to leave with a little more confidence than when they arrived.
I'm so excited to get to know your dancer and watch them grow.
My Promise To You:
At JB Dance, every dancer should feel like they matter. Not just as a dancer, but as a whole person—with their own personality, strengths, challenges, and journey.
They’ll receive thoughtful, high-quality dance education—and an experience that makes them excited to come back each week. We’ll celebrate progress—not just perfection, challenge dancers when they’re ready for more, and support them when something feels hard.
Because I believe dance should build more than strong dancers. It should build confidence, connection, courage, and a sense of belonging.
My hope is that your dancer leaves JB Dance not only a stronger dancer, but a little more confident in who they are—and years from now, remembers not just what they learned here, but how being part of JB Dance made them feel.

I started dancing when I was 3 years old, and I truly loved every minute of it. After high school, I thought I was taking a little break from dance, but to my surprise, dance found me again in college through musical theater. I kept dancing all the way through college, and when school was finished, I found other ways to keep movement in my life through Zumba and yoga. Dance has always had a way of finding its way back to me, and I’m so excited to now share that love of movement with my dancers.
As a teacher, I want my dancers to have fun, feel comfortable being themselves, and discover what they love about movement. I truly believe that movement is medicine for both the body and the soul. While learning dance skills is important, I also want my dancers to leave class with life skills that will stay with them long after they leave the studio — teamwork, resilience, confidence, perseverance, and the courage to keep trying when something feels hard. Some days we’ll nail it, some days we’ll laugh our way through it, and some days we’ll have to try something a few times. That’s all part of the journey!
Inclusion is also a huge part of what I believe in as a teacher. Every single body can dance, and every single body is welcome in my classes. It doesn’t matter where you come from, what your experience level is, or whether you’ve been dancing for years or are just getting started. I want my classroom to be a place where everyone feels safe, welcomed, encouraged, and valued. My hope is that every dancer walks out of class feeling a little more confident, a little more connected, and excited to come back and keep moving.
My Promise To You:
I promise that you will be seen, supported, and cared for. I will meet you where you are, celebrate your progress, encourage you when things get challenging, and always make room for you to grow at your own pace. Most importantly, I promise that you will always have a place in my classroom where you can be yourself, have fun, try hard things, and know that you belong.

“We can do hard things.”
It’s something I remind my dancers often, because I’ve seen how much can change when a dancer starts believing it.
A new step feels impossible—until it doesn’t.
A dancer who was nervous to try something new finds the courage to go for it.
A skill that took weeks to figure out finally clicks.
Those moments are part of what I love about dance.
But some of my favorite moments happen beyond the choreography. It’s watching a dancer become more confident in who they are, seeing friendships grow, or watching someone discover a strength they didn’t know they had.
That’s why I believe a dance studio can become a second home.
My own dance journey began when I was three and eventually took me to UW–Madison and into teaching and choreography across many styles, ages, and levels. Those experiences have taught me to value strong foundations, creativity, and always being willing to keep learning.
But most of all, they’ve taught me that dance should be challenging and joyful, structured and creative, and a place where every dancer has the opportunity to grow and shine.
I’m proud to be part of the JB Dance family, and I love getting to be part of each dancer’s journey.
My Promise To You:
I want every dancer to leave my class feeling a little more capable than when they walked in. We’ll work hard, try new things, celebrate the wins, and remind ourselves that we can do hard things.
I want class to be a place where dancers can be themselves, explore their creativity, and find joy in movement—while building strong foundations and skills that will continue to grow with them.
I’ll keep learning, creating, and bringing new ideas to the studio because I believe our teachers should be growing right alongside our dancers.
My hope is that your dancer discovers that they are capable of more than they thought—and carries that confidence with them long after class is over.
