Sheridan / Registrar

At the young age of 8, Jennifer enrolled at the Village Dance Studio in Zionsville, Indiana studying under the direction of Mrs. Annette Pettigrew.  During this time, Jennifer discovered the love of dance and strived to develop her skills.  At the age of 11, Jennifer was asked to perform in Dance Kaleidoscope’s production, “Magic of Christmas Love”.

During her high school years, Jennifer branched out and joined the jazz dance team, “The Stars” based in Carmel, Indiana performing at a variety of venues throughout the Indianapolis area.  When attending college at Ball State University, she resumed her ballet instruction and continued when she transferred to IUPUI at the Indianapolis campus.  For two years Jennifer performed with the “Moving Company” at IUPUI.

After obtain a BA degree from IU School of Allied Health, Jennifer took time off from dancing and started her family which now consist of three boys.  She and her husband, Chris, resided in Sheridan which is the town her husband grew up, and they love the calm lifestyle the town has to offer.  Jennifer’s free time is spent supporting her boys in their sport activities.

Realizing how much she missed dancing, Jennifer returned to her passion and studied for two years under the direction of Heidi Eads with the Ballet International and Russian Ballet Academy.  For the past four years, Jennifer has taken instruction from Miss Becky at the Noblesville Ballerinas Academy.

Jennifer is excited to join the staff team of the Ballerinas Academy and looks forward to being able to help other children develop their love of dance.
