Jenny Sowden joins us to teach an intermediate and a beginner blues dancing class!
Jenny Sowden is an award-winning, full-time international dance instructor based in New York City, where she is the founder and director of Brooklyn Swings. Jenny has been training in dance for over 25 years and teaching for over 20, with a BA in Dance and Theater from San Diego State University. She has studied 34 different styles of movement including Ballet, Tap, Hip Hop, West African, Capoeira, Aikido, Tango, Salsa, Lindy hop, Balboa, and Blues. Her background influences her teaching and general style through musicality, variety, expression and an understanding of body mechanics. Jenny believes the dance floor is a ‘World of Yes,’ whereby constantly accepting and being inspired by what happens creates an amazing place to be. We then take classes in a ‘World of Intention’ to expand our ‘World of Yes.’ Find out more at JennySowden.com.
