Jen has little experience in dance except for when, as a very young child, she gave a ballet, jazz, and tap class a brief — and grumpy — try. Since then Jen has developed a love of watching the art form because of the TV show and competition So You Think You Can Dance.
Now, you can often find her scrolling social media for trending internet dances and sometimes giving them a try in the privacy of her home, which is where she prefers to showcase her dancing abilities. With all nervousness aside, she’s excited to put her trust into the Underdog Dance studio and its professional dancers to learn something new and support kids with physical disabilities and their families through one of Easter Seals’ flagship fundraisers.
When she’s not dancing, which is most of the time, Jen is Waterloo’s current ward 5 City Councillor, a PhD Candidate, partner to Matt, and mom to two kids.
