About the Instructors

Garincha Hilaire
Garincha began dancing at the age of 13 in Haiti, when his mother insisted that he learn how to dance in an effort to cure his extreme shyness. Garincha has since trained with champions, and has been certified and worked for many years as an instructor by Arthur Murray (NYC), winning the Dance Teacher Professional Competition in 2002. He enthusiastically and lovingly brings the wealth of his experience, training, and knowledge to Take The Lead Dance Studio. 

Jennifer Janson
Jennifer has been greatly influenced by the art of dance. She began dancing Ballet when she was 3, and shortly after began figure skating competitively until the age of 17. Jennifer trained and performed in her hometown of Poughkeepsie, New York, and spent summers training in Lake Placid, NY. In 1993, Jennifer began teaching figure skating at her local rink where she discovered a love of choreographing programs for her students. In 1998, Jennifer taught at the University of Delaware training facility as she simultaneously finished up her music degree. It wasn't until later in her career that Jennifer discovered Latin and Ballroom dancing.
