About Jenna

Jenna Silva started dancing when she was three in her hometown of Whittier, California. She trained in a variety of styles, including ballet, jazz, contemporary, tap, and musical theatre. She is now a graduate of the University of the Arts (Philadelphia) with a BFA in Dance. Jenna was an avid member of Group Motion Dance Company throughout most of her college career, where she performed improvisational structures under direction of the artistic director, Manfred Fischbeck. Jenna has performed in multiple pieces choreographed by Jesse Zaritt, Curt Haworth, and Mark Francis Caserta. She has also created multiple solo and group works which have been performed at the University of the Arts. In 2015, Jenna was commissioned to perform in and choreograph The Judgement of Paris, which premiered at Plays and Players in Philadelphia. She has recently been hired to choreograph and co-produce multiple short plays as well as the new musical, Indigestible Companions. In June of 2018, Jenna produced Exertion: an evening in the life of a dance artist, in which she choreographed two pieces and performed a solo and duet. She has recently moved to Portland to dive into the dance community the city holds.

I absolutely love teaching! I try my hardest to bring the best I can out of my students. I take pride in how much a student can learn and grow from my classes and private lessons. It is truly amazing to see a student progress and grasp concepts they've never thought of before.

I started assistant teaching and substitute teaching at the age of fifteen in my hometown dance studio. While in high school I choreographed for many musical productions as well as multiple solos. During my time in college, I began teaching at an after school program, a local studio, and choreographing group numbers each semester. I recently taught at three dance studios in Philadelphia- Equilibrium Dance Academy, Rain Dance Studio, and CEG Performing Arts Academy.

About the lesson

My typical process when beginning to work with a new student for private lessons involves these steps:

1. Talking- simply discussing what it is the student is trying to accomplish.

2. In the studio- a brisk warm-up to see what level of flexibility and strength they have, as well as to see how quickly they are able to follow along.

3. Working on the basics- Most of the time when a student wants to achieve something grand or get overall better at something- it is best to refine the technique in basic steps and then have them work their way up.

4. Decision- The student makes the decision if they'd like to continue lessons or not, and the teacher determines a timeline for when the goal or overall improvement is achieved by.

I have worked with students from the age of two to adults, beginners to advanced, and students with special needs.
