We’re excited to introduce another incredible member of our Season 11 C2D NYC team, Jennifer Trought! 🩷💛🩵

Jennifer is a lifelong dancer, teacher, choreographer, and fitness instructor with a passion for making dance accessible and meaningful for everyone. In 2007, she founded Inspirations in Dance, a Staten Island studio where she spent 15 years teaching students of all ages and abilities. Throughout her career, she has also choreographed and coached for competitions, pageants, high school dance teams, college organizations, preschools, and community programs.

Since joining Chance 2 Dance in September 2025, Jennifer has found a special joy in sharing her love of dance with individuals of all abilities. She believes dance is about so much more than movement; it’s a way to build confidence, express emotion, create connections, and celebrate everything each dancer is capable of achieving.

We’re incredibly grateful to have Jennifer as part of the C2D family and for the heart, experience, and encouragement she brings to every class. We’re so excited to have her helping our NYC dancers discover all that dance can be! ✨
