J'Adore Dance

Jenna

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF SESSIONAL PROGRAMMING-OWNER

Jenna Brenan has been dancing since the age of four. Her background includes Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Hip Hop, Musical Theatre, and Irish. Jenna not only studied and trained locally here in Edmonton, but has also trained under a variety of professionals from across Canada and the United States. She has danced on teams with the Edmonton Oilers Boomers and with Scoil Rince Clannad Ceili Club. In fact, Irish dance is where Jenna met, traveled and competed with Chantel Sampson.

Jenna was a dance specialist teacher with Edmonton Public Schools for over 10 years. She taught classes to a variety of ages at Victoria School of the Performing Arts, Afton School of the Arts, and Glenora School.

In 2014, Jenna was fortunate to take the Conceptual Dance Education Training with Terry Goetz from the Seattle Creative Dance Center. There, Jenna was inspired to incorporate this philosophy into her school-based dance programs. In 2016, Jenna was fortunate to study under Anne Green Gilbert, Terry Goetz, and Anna Mansbridge at the Creative Dance Center’s Summer Dance Institute in Seattle, Washington.

Jenna is also no stranger to small business. In 2014, Jenna co-founded Artists on the Gogh inc., a community-based art and dance program for children ages three to eight.

In January 2015, Jenna joined the J’Adore Dance family and instantly fell in love with being a part of the J’Adore community. In May 2016, Jenna partnered with Chantel Sampson to become the new co-owner of J’Adore Dance. Jenna and Chantel’s strengths and talents truly compliment one another and they are grateful to have found one another to create a very special duo.

Jenna also loves sharing her passion of dance with her two boys, Finn (14 yrs) and William (12 yrs).
