Jenna is a bellydance artist, performer, and instructor from the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. Jenna is known for her joyful musical interpretation, mesmerizing spins, and sultry hipwork. With 16 years of combined dance experience, she is quickly becoming a sought-after performer and instructor.
Continuing to study with and having been heavily inspired by Jill Parker, Zoe Jakes, and the Jamila Salimpour Format, Jenna enjoys re-interpreting folkloric and vintage styles for a modern Western audience. Her greatest inspirations come from Vintage Theatrical bellydance groups like Jamila Salimpour's Bal Anat, and Jill Parker's Ultra Gypsy. She travels often to study and perfect her technique and to form community with other dancers from around the world. Jenna's unique performance and teaching style combines a joy for experimentation with a love for classical movement and strong technique. She is available for private and group lessons, workshops, and performances in Pennsylvania and throughout the East Coast. Jenna is currently working together with Zadyra Bellydance on producing their first event, "The Forget Me Not Revue': A Bellydance Spectacular!", featuring local performers and a performance and workshop with Olivia Kissel of Zafira Dance Company. Jenna has a few other projects in the works and can't wait to see where her dance community will lead her in the future! |
