OUR MISSION
THE TEACHER
Jenie Gospodinova
Pre-ballet years 3–5
As the founder of Jenie’s Dance School, I wanted to start a school where kids could foster their passion for dance and ballet.
I hope that Jenie’s Dance School is a huge part of the growing up of the little dancers, and I realize that they are learning so much more than ballet. They are learning so much about LIFE within the classroom walls. I hope they are gaining poise and confidence, and they are learning how to be JOYFUL and RESPECTFUL to themselves and others.
I know Jenie’s Dance School is a very special place: the feeling of family, tradition and joy is felt everywhere.
At Jenie’s Dance School we celebrate the gift of every day. We stay positive in our teaching and still teach excellent body alignment and technique, and discipline within both.
It is my continued goal as director and owner of the school to continue to inspire and teach excellence in the classroom, as well as create a safe environment to grow and learn. It’s our HOME away from HOME.
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Jenie’s Dance School.
The Legacy continues…
