Dance Teacher Bio:

Jenifer Budzinski has been teaching dance and gymnastics for more than 25 years.  She has a deep love of teaching.  While she was given the opportunity to perform and compete in her youth, she's always been most passionate about inspiring others and producing her own original productions.  Jen has built several successful dance and gymnastics programs over the years including designing her own curriculum and evaluation system that supports the whole child.  She is trained in several dance genres including classical ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, musical theater and acrobatics.  Her specialty is in developing and building a strong dance and gymnastics foundation in her students.  Several of Jen’s students have gone on to be high-level competitive gymnasts, award-winning competitive dancers, pursue careers in dance, and get accepted into top colleges for dance and gymnastics.  She has produced dozens of productions including Annie, the Wizard of Oz, Beauty & the Beast, Newsies, Seussical, The Greatest Showman and more!  Ms. Jen also holds a master's degree in education.
