As a classically trained ballerina, Jenna has been enjoying being a guest judge on the hit dance competition show "So You Think You Can Dance". She is also proudly on the board of trustees of the Dizzy Feet Foundation, whose mission is to support, improve, and increase access to dance education in the United States.
