Meet Our Founder

Jenny B., founder of The Sassy Strides, is a dynamic entrepreneur whose journey seamlessly blends over 20 years of dance experience with corporate leadership and creative vision. Jenny’s passion for movement began as a cheerdancer and cheerleading coach, which eventually launched her professional career as a pro dancer performing on TV, in concerts, and at high-profile events in Philippines and USA.

 

Jenny has trained extensively in various dance styles, including hip-hop, popping, krump, locking, house, waving, street jazz, jazz, jazz funk, cheer/pom dance, heels, contemporary, and modern under the mentorship of The Philippine Allstars - Scholarship program and The Addlib, Inc. in the Philippines.

 

A proud moment in her career was competing with The Addlib at the 2014 World Hip Hop Dance Championship in Las Vegas, where her crew made it to the semi-finals, representing the Philippines on a global stage. Recently, she expanded her repertoire to pole dancing, earning her first gold medal in the 2023 PSO Dramatic Level 1 Competition after just 1.5 years of training.

 

Through The Sassy Strides, Jenny channels her love for performing arts, dance education and fashion into a bold, empowering brand. With its slogan, “Find Your Rhythm, Own Your Stride,”.

 

As CEO, Dance Mentor, and Exec Director, Jenny leverages her expertise in both the corporate and artistic worlds, creating a personal and authentic connection with her growing community of dancers, creators, and dreamers.

 

Whether you’re looking for a femme and queer-empowered dance company, dance mentorship, or a space to feel inspired, The Sassy Strides is here to help you express your boldest, most confident self. Explore our world and connect with Jenny today.
