Born in Albany, New York, Jenna Snide-Papielion began dancing at the age of three. She grew up studying tap, jazz, ballet, contemporary, and hip hop. As a teenager, Jenna began exploring her passion as an educator teaching dance to other children. That passion led her to founding the Capital District Arts Initiative with her brother that provides an array of dance and theatre programming. Jenna and I discussed our shared common thread in growing up as performers and how we bring our artistic lenses to our ongoing fitness and faith journeys.
