Artist Statement
I connect with others around me to inspire positive personal growth. I work towards being an authentic and intentional human being. I aim to create a comfortable and hardworking environment for my peers. I provide a thoughtful and safe space for all.
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 Supports looking to have a deeper understanding of their young
dancer’s world.
