Jennifer Markowski was born and raised in Hurley WI, where she started her dance career at the age of four with The Ironwood Dance Company. She continued to take classes there for 15 years in jazz, ballet, lyrical and hip hip. Her main focus was always hip hop due to how fast and creative it allowed her to be. From a young age, she knew she wanted to share her talent with other students and went on to explore different conventions throughout the midwest to broaden her knowledge and skills. She ended her journey with the Ironwood Dance Company after teaching there for six years and moved to the Minocqua area. She started teaching at Minocqua Dance in 2019. She still continues to attend conventions and was recently certified in hip hop through John Comix Barrella.
