Another Week, Another GUEST! This week the girls are THRILLED to be bringing on a phenomenal professional in the industry- KALEY JENSEN!
Kaley Jensen, a wife and mother, is also a professional dancer, adjunct professor, Pilates teacher trainer, choreographer, cross-fitter, and creator of the Mentoring Program for Dancers: Mindset to Movement. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Kaley attended Brigham Young University as a dance major and business minor. She performed and toured with the Theatre Ballet Company all four years, and trained on scholarship at the San Francisco Conservatory of Dance and Ballet West. While there, she received academic and international talent awards at the World Dance Movement in Italy. She later pursued her Masters of Fine Arts at the University of Arizona, where she met her future husband and further developed her passion for performing, educating, and choreographing. After her first year, a severe car accident left her with a broken back, but she recovered and returned to dance with the help of a dedicated Pilates regimen, a discipline that soon became a new passion.
Since moving to Dallas in 2017, Kaley has completed her Pilates training and has been teaching and choreographing locally for studios and dance departments, including Richland College and, more recently, Collin College. She also presented at the national AGO conference for two consecutive years. Her professional dance credentials include performances with Bruce Wood Dance, Zion Dance Project, Ballet North Texas, Collin County Ballet Theatre, Ballet Dallas, and most recently, Full Circle Dance. Some professional highlights include performing the lead in the original work by Silas Farley of New York City Ballet, Dew Drop and Sugar Plum Fairy in "The Nutcracker," the role of Phoenix in "Phoenix Rising" by Zach Ingram of Alvin Ailey, and the principal in the award-winning "HIVE" by Tiffanee Arnold. Through her example and mentorship, Kaley loves empowering dancers to reignite their passion and turn their dream careers into a vivid reality.
