Gen Jacobs

Gen Jacobs is a San Diego native, who began dancing at the age of 6, beginning with tap, jazz, and character dance. At the age of 10, she began studying ballet at The Ballet Conservatory under the influential training and exams of the Royal Academy of Dance. Growing up, she continued to train in ballet and jazz at local studios, and with her high school dance troupe. While in college, she creative side took a side trip and she pursued an education in graphic design, married and started a family. But, her love for dance was always there! After having her second daughter, she went back to dancing, taking classes at various studios throughout San Diego, and fell in love with the creative & free form movement of hip hop. When Danceology opened, she took up adult jazz, and soon after, adult hip hop. Having two daughters that dance at Danceology, one of her greatest joys is seeing them grow as dancers themselves and realized that she wanted to share her love for learning & teaching to younger dancers. She now teaches beginning hip hop to children ages 6-9, and the Mini’s/Junior Hip Hop competition team. She looks forward to continuing her dance programs with the support and love of her family and friends. Aside from dancing, Gen is a full-time Graphic Designer. She resides in Carmel Mountain Ranch with her husband Dave and two daughters, Hannah and Madelyn. (Photo Credit, Natalia Del Carmen Photography)
