Beyond teaching dance classes, Janae can be found training aerial arts, practicing yoga, at a farmers market, or camping with her dog.

Janae was a founding member of Wingbeat Movement Arts, a San Diego-based aerial and contemporary dance company. Her training spans contemporary modern styles, musical theatre, ballet, and jazz. With a decade of experience teaching and choreographing musical theatre, Janae also enjoys teaching contemporary, modern, and improv classes. Her dedication extends beyond performance to her personal improv and somatic dance practices.
