Jody attended both the University of Massachusetts and Boston Conservatory as a
dance major. She has been teaching dance and acting to children, as well as
adults, at various dance companies for the past 29 years. She has
choreographed major productions for local theater companies such as Fiddler
on the Roof, Hairspray, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as well, as local high
school productions such as Grease, and Anything Goes. She has helped cast and
choreograph a national commercial for Shiki Emoji wrist bands. Many of her
students have been cast in local and national commercials.
Jody created the Broadway Kids program nine years ago, to introduce young
students to singing, acting, dance, improvisation, and get them comfortable
performing on a stage. In 2016 they received the Bons Award for “Best Kids
Program“, readers’ choice from Northshore Magazine.
Currently, A Broadway Kids Company (ABC) is in its fourth year and offers a
variety of classes for kids ranging in ages from 1.5 to 18 years, with no
experience necessary. At ABC, my students learn about music, dance, and
acting in a fun and nurturing environment. ABC is a well-rounded educational
center for the Arts. Along with our weekly classes we also bring in guest
teachers from all over New England, and New York giving students an
opportunity to take classes with professional industry teachers, an
opportunity that they might not have otherwise. Miss Jody says, “I am thrilled to be back
for my fourth summer with Gym Momentum.”
