Jennie Jones
Jennie has over 25 years of teaching experience in a variety of dance genres, in both the private and public sectors. After teaching dance for four years in an elementary school, and starting to raise her own family of three boys, she decided there must be a more joyful way to teach music and movement to wiggly bodies. Her love of children, play and dance combined in the unique curriculum, Dance FUNdamentals.
Jennie brings her love of modern and ballet technique, as well as years of choreography experience to Dance FUNdamentals. She is passionate about teaching children the foundational skills that will allow them to succeed in dance, no matter the genre in which they choose to specialize. And she is also passionate about giving the gifts of dance to children who may or may not choose to continue in dance as they grow, but who will take with them the confidence, body awareness, healthy mindsets, creative process and joyful love of music and movement to whatever passions they ultimately follow.

Alexis Nielsen
Alexis enjoys all things movement and has from a very young age. Training in most dance styles has given her a well-rounded vocabulary which she loves to use to communicate ideas, emotions and stories without words. After graduating from Southern Utah University with her Bachelor's in Dance Performance, Alexis performed professionally for several seasons at Tuacahn Center for the Arts. Alexis went on to teach at several local dance studios in St. George and enjoyed choreographing and performing in local theater productions at St George Musical Theater and Hurricane Theatrical. Alexis loved having the opportunity to teach 1st-3rd grade at Vista School. This is where her love of play-based creative movement started and still continues today!
