Jillian fell in love with dance at the mere age of 2, while dancing alongside her mother in their family owned studio. During high school she fell in love with hip-hop and contemporary the most out of her studied styles. She then taught at her studio for 5 years in addition to choreographing competition pieces. At her alma mater, Hofstra University (‘15), she was a dancer and choreographer for Imani Dance Ensemble, and so be it, Hofstra’s Danceworks, another production club at the university and found herself all over again after stepping away from dance for a brief moment. Jillian has appeared in music videos, individual film dance projects, has taught master classes and workshops, and has performed in various competitions around the Tri-State area. She is thrilled to find another way to pursue her passion and share the dance floor with such amazing and talented individuals. She currently works at Stony Brook Medicine in Orthopedic Surgery, and was so lucky to find her fiancé and co-choreographer, Taylor, through this unique company. This is her 7th time choreographing and her 8th season with DanceWorks New York City!
