Jennah also had the opportunity of performing as a trainee for two seasons with the company, Tampa City Ballet. She performed choreographic works such as 7th Avenue and Ybor, If I Cry, Outflow, and It’s Happening Anyways.
As a scholarship recipient, Jennah received her BFA in Dance with a concentration in Ballet along with a minor in Business from Point Park University in Spring of 2023, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Here, she studied under professors such as Jae Man Joo, Julia Erickson, Susan Stowe, Dana Arey, Kwang Suk Choi, Jay Kirk, and Jason McDole.
Jennah has had the honor of performing Waltz Girl in George Balanchine’s Serenade, amongst other lead roles within Paquita, La Bayadere, Sleeping Beauty, Justin Peck’s In Creases, and Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s Shibuya Blues.

During her time at PBT she had the opportunity to perform in two company productions, The Nutcracker and Beauty and The Beast, as corps de ballet roles. Closing the season with the Graduate Program, Jennah has had the honor of, once again, performing Waltz Girl in George Balanchine’s Serenade.
She would like to thank her support system and mentors, whom she holds close to heart, for supporting her throughout her journey to get to where she is today!

Pointe of Ballet
Jennah created Pointe of Ballet, a “Made for Dancers by a Dancer” blog to communicate openly while creating connections through experiences, thoughts, and topics that come up in the world of a dancer. Not only does this website directly address dancers, but it also reaches the scope of the “Dancer’s G.P.S.” which are Guardians, Parents, and Supporters looking to have a deeper understanding of their young
dancer’s world.
