Artistic Fusion Dance Academy is led by Owner and Artistic Director Jen Jarnot, who has shared her passion for dance for over 34 years and has trained dancers who've gone on to Broadway, The Juilliard School, and university dance programs.
The faculty is exceptional: Natalia Magnicaballi led both The Suzanne Farrell Ballet and Ballet Arizona as principal dancer simultaneously for nearly 20 years, performing in over 400 venues across six continents. Scott Autry, a 2022 Juilliard graduate and Gibney Company Artistic Associate, received the Héctor Zaraspe Prize for outstanding choreographic talent. Tatyana Yatsenko was a Principal Dancer with the Moscow Classical Ballet Theatre and New Jersey Ballet for over two decades combined. Brittany Coleman, Performance Company Director, is a two-time NYCDA Outstanding Dancer whose choreography has brought Roosevelt High School four consecutive state pom championships. The team also includes current NBA and NLL professional dancers, giving Artistic Fusion dancers access to instruction shaped by genuinely elite, world-class experience.
