Has ballet always scared you? When you are in auditions or rehearsals do you not understand the terminology? Have you never taken a ballet class before? In this class, I will take you through what you need to know to understand what dance instructors are talking about when they start speaking in "ballet". I will teach you the basics so you can look like you have had ballet when really all you like to do is jazz hands.
Jenny Boynton is the Artistic Director and Board Secretary for MMTC. A native to Marin County, Jenny has been performing in theater most of her life. With a stage presence bigger than life, she found that musical theater would be her concentration. She received her AA in Drama from The College of Marin and her BA in music from Dominican University. Jenny has performed with many companies throughout the Bay Area. Most notably she has performed several times with The Mountain Play Association, playing “Maria” in Man of la Mancha and as a Pick-A-Little Lady in The Music Man. Most recently, Jenny was seen as "Janet" in The Rocky Horror Show with MMTC, “Penelope Pennywise” in Urinetown the Musical with Stapleton Theater Company, and as “Bianca” in Kiss Me Kate with MMTC.
