Jenna has been dancing for most of her life. In 2003, she discovered Lindy Hop and quickly fell in love. She has danced and taught with Big Time Swing, the University of Chicago, and at several workshops. In 2005, she became a regular instructor at Big City Swing, Chicago's premiere Lindy Hop and Swing studio. Here, she has developed a reputation for her insight, patience, and ability to instill confidence in her students. She also performs with and helps train the performance troupe at Big City Swing and has had the opportunity to perform all over the Midwest. In addition, she has founded The Tacky Annies, an all girls vintage dance troupe, who specialize in charleston, vernacular jazz, and blues dancing.
