Jennifer Smilie Fuqua

Instructor | Ballet | Tap | Jazz | Hip Hop

Jennifer began dancing when she was 7 years old at Cenla's Academy of Performing Arts. Jennifer became part of the CSDA family when Mrs. Cindy opened the Pineville studio. She began assisting classes with Mrs. Melissa and Mrs. Cindy, and joined the competition team for five years. Jennifer attended many workshops with Mrs. Cindy, some of the conventions include the Pulse on Tour, Dancemakers, Dance Teachers United, and Platinum Conventions where she was given the opportunity to learn from several choreographers. Jennifer graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a Bachelors in Speech Pathology and Audiology. Jennifer's favorite part about working for CSDA is seeing the excitement on the mommy and me babies coming to class each week and experiencing the friendships that are built in the studio, because dancing at CSDA is more than just going to dance class, it's being part of a family who encourages you and helps you strive to meet your goals!
