Jennifer has been teaching social dance since 1994 and calling contradances since 1995. She's available for public dances,
private celebrations and dance camps.
Jennifer is known for her smooth programming and an ever-expanding repertoire of dances that keeps experienced dancers intrigued. Her clear teaching makes dance immediately accessible to newcomers, and she loves to balance the needs of first-timers and long-timers by finding simple, flowing dances with unusual twists. In addition to contradance, Jennifer teaches waltz, swing and vintage dance, including ballroom dances from the 1800s such as schottische and polka, and Ragtime dances such as one-step, early foxtrot, tango and Half and Half (5/4 waltz). In 1995, Jennifer founded the Whidbey Island Contra Dance, which continued until 2008. |
