Jennifer Knostman                   
Owner & Creative Director, Instructor, Choreographer, Dancer, Wife, Mom

Jennifer has been dancing for over 39 years with over 20 years of teaching and choreography experience.  Her life-long love of dance began at the age of just three, and her passion for teaching and choreography developed as early as Junior High School.  This passion continued through college while attending Kansas State University where she taught dance with the Washington Dance Studio while earning her degree. 

Her studies have taken her to England, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Colorado, and Kansas.  Touring, teaching, and competing led to many individual and company recognitions over the years including national titles with Dance Masters of America.  As a member of Dance Masters
of America and through participation in a number of dance conferences, Jennifer stays up to date in all areas of dance and instruction.  

Jennifer also has over eleven years of experience teaching locally here in beautiful Northern Colorado and is very proud to have established Studio West Dance Center in 2005.  She is looking forward to many great years to come!

Jennifer's Personal Goal:
"It is my hope that my passion for
dance and choreography will
influence others for years to come. 
My motto is:  Dance for Life!"
