Our Director ~             

Jennifer Crowley has a unique passion for dance evidenced in her belief that all human beings of any age, size, physical, or mental ability can dance. 

Having lacked the opportunity to dance as a small child, Ms. Crowley initially developed the Creative Dance and Movement program in order to bring dance into the elementary school so that all children, regardless of means, can enjoy the creativity and self-expression provided by dance. Having expanded her program into the studio, she continues to bring dance to young dancers eager to express themselves through movement.

Ms. Crowley began studying dance as a teenager when encouraged by a special high school teacher and mentor. Passionate about dance as art and personal expression, she's a true believer that learning is constant and sharing is essential. 

Today Ms. Crowley continues to dance not only with her students, but also with the Antique Moving Company, a dance company for dancers over the age of 40 who love to create, dance and perform.

Ms. Crowley also currently serves as the Vice President of Salinas Performing Arts, a non-profit arts board whose mission is to support the performing arts in our central coast community by providing scholarships to young dancers and performing artists interested in further developing their artistic talents in college or other training venues.
