Guatemalan-born, of Belizian-German descent, Jennifer Lisette Lopez is currently a Resident Choreographer for New York City based production company, Harmony Theatre. 

She received her B.A. from Columbia University, and has studied/choreographed/performed various forms of dance all over the world- including France, Ireland, Poland and Haiti.

In her Master-Class, entitled "Afro-Groove,” she will teach students fundamentals of Afro-based dance forms (Haitian, Yoruba, Congolese, Senegalais) accompanied with deep stretches and strengthening exercises. Students will find the “tribal beat” of their own bodies, and finish the class with a choreographed combination that will integrate these movements.  The choreography will be a melding of the undulation and release of traditional Afro movements with the grace, strength, and balance of Modern and Jazz.
