Jen Martin
As a performing arts professional, Jen has spent most of her career in New York City. Her choreography and performance credits span all areas of the entertainment world including stage, film, television, music videos, web-based productions, and industrials. Jen’s credits are numerous, and include work for ABC’s Good Morning America, Pepsi, Johnnie Walker, Armani, and Broadway Cares. After years of performing, Jen found her niche in aerial dance. She is a founder and choreographer of AERA Dance, a past Board Member of the U.S. Aerial Championships, the creator of the “Red Velvet” aerial dance class for Crunch Fitness, and the former Director of Aerial Programming for New York City’s Body & Pole. Jen has authored aerial hoop and hammock instructor training programs, and has choreographed and performed with the performance duo, Lyracle. She loves working with both traditional and custom aerial apparatus, and finds that a background in dance helps to uniquely position her to combine and meld dance, aerial and acrobatics throughout the industry. Recent projects include co-creation of the Forbidden Garden Experience, a variety show that includes aerial, burlesque, live music and projection mapping, in addition to creating solo acts for a variety of shows within Arizona.
