Most of us know choreography affects our dancers scores, but few of us dance parents understand the how and why. Today we brought on Pulse Dance Studio owner, dancer, choreographer, and competition Judge, Jennifer Olsen, to help explain to us the relationship between choreography and your dancer's scores!
ABOUT JENNIFER:
Jennifer started studying dance at the age of 3 in Pennsylvania. She has been extensively trained and is proficient in many forms of dance including tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, musical theatre and ballroom. Her first taste of love for live theatre was her junior year of high school where she performed at The Fulton Opera House in Lancaster, PA. After high school Jennifer started traveling as a spokesmodel for Infiniti Automotive Company for 9 years as well as was a on air guest on QVC. After traveling she brought her love of dance and the arts back home where she opened her own studio in 2008. She has nurtured and grown her studio for the past 18 years helping her students to be successful dancers and aide them in achieving their goals. It has always filled her heart to watch her dancers grow as dancers and as humans. She has always taught them that to win many awards, accolades, and scholarships along the way is icing on the cake, but they don’t define you. Jennifer has also won many choreography awards from various dance competitions around the east coast. Most recently she has choreographed Jesus Christ Superstar for Millersville University and has traveled as far as St. Croix, to give master classes to students of all ages and abilities. Her performing credits include West Side Story, Hello Dolly, Catch Me If You Can, Holiday Treasures, and Future Vision. Her most prized accomplishment is working with her students inside her studio. Jennifer feels to build relationships both on and off the dance floor is the most rewarding thing as a teacher and studio owner. To know that dancers you work with will carry a piece of you with them is her biggest award ever given.
