As an educator, Jillian is dedicated to growing a classroom community driven by rigorous hard work, athletic longevity and whole-hearted care for the individual student. Jillian understands firsthand that dance and the arts are a crucial place for young people to find and express themselves. In the classroom, she aims for students to feel heard, seen and valued as both growing artists and individuals. Students are encouraged to be inquisitive, challenge their limits, take up space, encourage each other and, most importantly, to be their authentic selves.
