Prima Elite Academy of Dance: Artistic Director: Jennifer Griglock-Haggerty

Jennifer Griglock-Haggerty is a native of Pittston, Pa. Jennifer began her dance training at the age of 3. A graduate of Pittston Area High School, she was a scholarship student at Point Park University Conservatory, one of the most prestigious and well known colleges for dance in the country. Jennifer received her Bachelor of Arts in Dance, Magna Cum Laude, with a concentration in Ballet from Point Park. During her college dance career Jennifer performed works from various world known choreographers such as Robert Battle, Harrison McEldowney, Kevin O'Day, Margo Sappington, Lou Conte, Edward Villella, works from Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, George Balanchine’s Valse Fantaisie and Donizetti Variations™, and Ruth Page’s Bolero. She also performed as a soloist for variations choreographed by the dance faculty.


Upon graduation, Jennifer moved to Chicago where she continued to dance on scholarship at the Lou Conte Dance Studio, home of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. There, Jennifer continued her training with Claire Baulieu, Julie Nakagawa Böttcher, and Lucas Crandall. Jennifer also performed on tour with the Radio City Christmas Spectacular both as an ensemble member and featured dancer. Later, she received her Master of Arts in Elementary Education from the University of Scranton. She taught in the Diocese of Scanton for a year before becoming a teacher at the Riverside School District where she currently teaches 3rd grade.


Jennifer has been teaching dance instruction since she was 15 years old. She has conducted numerous master classes for students of all ages. Jennifer lives with her husband, Kevin Haggerty, and resides in Dunmore with their two children, Kevin, 4 and Giovanna, 2.


"My mission is to create an atmosphere where students express themselves through dance, and find the passion and love for the art of dance. I have worked with children on many different levels, from the dance studio, to the classroom, to my role as mother, and I believe I have an advantage of knowing how different students think and learn in different ways. I will devote myself to each and every student whom I instruct."
*We offer dance in ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, lyrical, pointe, and hip hop.
