Biography:
The instructor was a classically-trained ballet professional who
explored and taught many different dance genres over her many
years of teaching. Swing
dancing was part of her
childhood, as her parents
were accomplished in it
and taught her and her
siblings in the living room
of their home growing
up. She followed this
childhood love with
formal ballroom lessons
as an adult. Janet was the
choreographer at North
Hills High School and
Junior High School for
many years – and at Pine-
Richland High School
prior to that. She has
taught at several dance
studios here in Pittsburgh.
