Jaclyn Carlson
Queens,NY
Summary
Dedicated, determined and a very hard worker. Performed and taught unconventional dance technique for over 16 years. Experienced in teaching movement to all ages, for fitness and/or for fun! Great at picking up skills and instruction quickly (growing up a dancer from a young age, taught discipline, and how to pick up direction very well.) Massive love for anything and all things physical, hoping to pass on the passion for action to clients!
