EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS
Learn and grow as a group.
At a very young age, I fell in love with the art of dance and body movement. I became a Physiotherapist to share that love with others by helping them continue to enjoy their movement too.
Knowledge is key to maintaining, regaining or improving the ability to continue enjoying movement.
I offer highly engaging in-person or online workshops to share my love of movement and empower people through knowledge to prevent injuries so they can remain active longer.
Anyone can participate, including student dancers, student athletes, teens, teachers, coaches or adults. When planning, we can discuss ideal group dynamics.

TESTIMONIALS
“Jen has taught several workshops for members of Cecchetti Canada, all of whom are teachers of ballet. It was evident that she had put a lot of thought into her presentations, to ensure the learning outcomes related specifically to dance. Calling on her own background in ballet and her thorough command of the subject matter she kept her workshops relevant, detailed, clear and highly informative.
Jen is engaging and highly professional and the response from our workshop participants was uniformly positive and enthusiastic.”
