He received his MFA from University of Iowa in choreography and dance. He is able to weave together and connect traditional ballet positions with the elementary teachings of the 5 elements. Every human being has a head, two arms and two legs which equals the five elements. In ballet there are five major positions which relate to the five elements.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px;"> Jenni Rose</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px;">From the age of five Jenni had the opportunity to dance with various dance studios and participated on the Solon High School dance team. She went on to study photography in Chicago, at Harrington School of Design and spent her twenties focused on learning about weaving, natural and synthetic dye processes, and shearing sheep. She interned at The Chicago Weaving School for 2 years, and through that process developed her own weaving curriculum that she then taught to the age of preschool to adult, in Chicago and Seattle. In 2018 she suffered an undiagnosed inflammatory episode that caused significant neuropathy and mobility loss. She has learned a lot through her personal healing journey and contributes most of that healing to the gift of a grateful mindset and a good mother. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px;">LOCATION</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px;">Central Park, 501 6th St, Coralville, IA 52241, USA</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px;">COVID-19</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px;">The event is held outside.
