About Us
Jennifer Martin - Studio Owner
Jenn has been involved in many pieces of the studio over the years, most importantly as director of fundraising for our competition team. She has put plans into place which allowed for enough funds to be raised for all new team jackets, Air Force Ones for hip hop, a team end-of year-banquet, goody bags for every competition, and numerous other event and activities. Jenn comes in with many years of business and managerial experience. Her drive to keep the studio running comes from her own desire to see her daughter have a place to dance, the place she has always loved.
