Lena Janes Dance & Acting

Introduction: Hello! My name is Lena and I am an actor, dancer, choreographer, and instructor based in Chicago. DANCE: I have been dancing for 15+ years, and teaching for 9. I love to teach a breadth of styles including jazz, contemporary, tap, and ballet, and my favorite is musical theatre dance. My teaching experience spans ages 3-adult. I have choreographed for plays, musicals, fashion shows, and more, in addition to directing competition dance teams. I also previously judged nationally for Precision Arts Challenge dance competition and was promoted to Head Judge after one season. ACTING: I booked my first professional production at age 4 and haven't stopped since. I have directed and produced both musicals and plays, and have professional expertise to share in both stage and film acting. I love teaching private lessons because it allows me to help students set, work toward, and achieve their personal goals, as well as supplement and strengthen any additional training. Let's chat about how I can help!
