As a child while dancing at Gina Saunders Dancecraft Studio, Jennifer trained with former Cleveland Ballet dancers, Cynthia Graham and Joseph Glowick with whom she credits her love for partnering. After graduation, Ms. Muselin attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts where she was awarded a scholarship for her Sophomore year. At only 19 years old, Jennifer was awarded an apprenticeship at Chicago's famed Hubbard Street Dance Company and selected to instruct summer intensives with the National Cheerleading Association. Some of Ms. Muselin's credits include Clara and Sugarplum in The Nutcracker, as well as various principle roles that were choreographed for her exclusively. Jennifer has had the pleasure of being partnered by members of the former Ohio Ballet such as Blas Cerda and Luc Vanier, as well as performed works choreographed by Mr. Vanier and Michael Medcalf, formally of the Cleveland Contemporary Dance Company. Ms. Muselin is trained in the Pilates technique which is instrumental in her teachings of both children and adults. She has choreographed shows to include Flower Drum Song, The King and I, Beauty and the Beast, Hairspray, Cinderella and taught summer youth programs at Oberlin College for at risk youths. After a brief hiatus from dance, in 2013 Jennifer began a new chapter in her life and opened JAM Dance Academy, a dance studio focusing on the disciplined fundamentals of ballet technique. She is proud that this fledgling studio has receive such accolades at “Best Dance Studio” in North Ridgeville in 2013-2017 and nominated for “Best Dance Studio” in Lorain County two years in a row. Ms. Muselin is ecstatic to be producing JAM Dance Academy’s third annual production of The Nutcrackerballet this December and choreographing on some of Cleveland’s most talented dancers. Jennifer is most excited to embark on her new venture as Executive and Artistic Director of her newly formed professional contemporary ballet company, Ballet Legato in 2019.
