TEACHING

I prioritize empowering dancers by inviting them to explore their own depth of capacities. 

I encourage opportunities within our practices that dissolve perceived boundaries and limitations . 

I welcome possibility and coax curiosity.  

While honouring lineage I invite a  depth of inquiry that holds our physical, emotional and mental health in the highest regard .

From my perspective, the study of dance extends beyond learning techniques and codified processes. It is deeply rooted in both our individual and collective capacity to share, cultivate, and elevate one other. 

 we move, we breathe, we connect, we  choose. 

 My experience is varied, and my interests run wide. I have facilitated workshops, adjudicated festivals, hosted community movement projects and taught professionals dance artists, aspirants, Olympic qualifying national -level gymnasts and folks with mixed abilities. 

I have served as a senior ballet faculty member at HarbourDance Centre in Vancouver and as a guest instructor for several professional and pre-professional dance companies, studios and formal institutions,

 including but not limited to; Tanzcompanie Mainfranken, Ballet BC, Contemporary Dance Wyoming, 

STAYCEE PEARL dance projects & Soy sos, Decidedly Jazz DanceWorks, 

Corps Bara Dance Theatre, Lemondance, DanceStreams Youth Company, and Henny Jurriëns Studio in Amsterdam. 

Furthermore, Jill's commitment to education led her to serve as an Adjunct Professor of Contemporary Dance at the Conservatory of Performing Arts at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, USA.
