HOST

Jenna Kantor PT, DPT is a bubbly and energetic girl who was born and raised in Petaluma, California, which is in the Bay Area. She trained intensively at Petaluma City Ballet, Houston Ballet, BalletMet, Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, RDA Choreography Conference, and Regional Dance America. Over time, the injuries added up and she knew she would not have a lasting career in ballet. This lead her to the University of California, Irvine, where she discovered a passion for musical theatre. Upon graduating, Jenna Kantor worked professionally in musical theatre for 15+ years then found herself ready to move onto a new chapter in her life. She earned her Doctoral degree in Physical Therapy at Columbia University while simultaneously co- founding Fairytale Physical Therapy (http://fairytalephysicalt.wixsite.com/fairytale) which brings musical theatre shows to children in hospitals. Jenna is currently a physical therapist for performers in New York City and founder of Powerful Performer, which is an online course that teaches performing artists how to become their own health superhero.
