About
Jennifer is an award-winning choreographer, known for her work at one of the top training programs for high school theater students in the State of New Jersey.
Jennifer began her dance training at the age of three studying Ballet, Tap and Jazz. She discovered her love of theatre at a young age when her grandfather, who worked at the Paper Mill Playhouse for over fifty years as the wardrobe master, would take her to see shows. She choreographed her first musical Damn Yankees, when she was a senior in high school and has been working professionally choreographing musicals ever since.
Favorite works include Cats, Sophisticated Ladies and Peter Pan to name a few. Her favorite choreographer and performer is Gene Kelly, with Singing in the Rain and Newsies being her favorite movie musicals and Cats her favorite Broadway show. She loves the entire picture that comes with creating a musical from the lighting to costumes, scenic design to the live orchestra, all coming together to create a magical story that can transport you to the farthest depth of your imagination for a few hours.
