Jill was protégé of jazz dance master Luigi, eventually becoming one of his top dancers and a teacher in his school.  Kendell's Neighborhood Ballet at Electric Lodge has brought ballet and Broadway dance to Venice kids for the past three years. She also studied jazz with Luigi beginning at the age of twelve. Marina Blanche Munoz joins the team as dance teacher. A recent graduate of AMDA American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Los Angeles, Marina has been an instructor at JillyJazz Kids Dance Workshops for the past two years.
