Biography
Jenna (she/her) is the current Coach of the Champlain College Dance Team and weekly Yoga Instructor through Student Activities. Growing up as a dancer & mover, Jenna has been drawn to all types of movement as a connection to our bodies, minds, and spirit.
Jenna’s passion for teaching and mentorship has been evident in her work as Dance Coach for the Champlain College Dance Team for the past 7 years. Her goal as a dance and yoga teacher is to cultivate a safe space for students to find what they need through movement, whatever that looks like!
Champlain College holds a special place for Jenna, as she is an alumni- graduated in 2015 with a BS in Marketing & Digital Interactions. She also worked closely with Student Activities during her four years at the college as President of CHAMP, student activities planner, and Orientation Leader. Since then, she has worked primarily in the performing arts in Burlington at the Flynn, Vermont Youth Orchestra Association, and currently at Burlington City Arts.
Jenna also currently teaches yoga at Sangha Studio, owns a local dance company, ‘merde!’, and works with many local artists and businesses. She has a love for non-profit arts administration, vintage clothing, theater and dance, local food, farmers markets, swimming holes, and her street bike in the summer. Oh and a freshly grown tomato from anyone’s garden!

Favorite local eateries and things to do in Vermont:
A perfect day in Vermont would be the sun shining, a stop at Burlington Farmers Market for an iced coffee, a bouquet of local flowers, and a donut! Followed by anything to do with Lake Champlain, kayaking or paddle boarding! After a long day, dinner at small local restaurants like Poco, Taco Gordo, or May Day – to enjoy really great cocktails and unique food!
