"The camps are fun and encouraging. Both of my daughters made new, lifelong friendships and had so much fun at camp. One of the most positive moments for my oldest daughter was her counselor encouraging her to keep up with dance!"
Jill Menard studied dance at the University of Arizona and the Wellington Performing Arts Centre in New Zealand. In 2003 she opened her dance studio, JAM Danceworks, offering jazz, ballet, tap, modern and contemporary classes to ages 3-adult. She also founded the FERN DANCE THEATRE, a non-profit professional dance company. She choreographed and directed five full-length shows for the company. Jill is currently training and performing with the Asheville Aerial Arts as an aerial dancer and is thoroughly enjoying adding this new element of movement to her dance repertoire. She is excited to be working at the American Dance Training Camp this upcoming summer.
