Jenn Green

Jenn (Green) Wilenta has had a lifelong love of dance, including a deep appreciation for the many ways it can nurture and inspire the individual and the collective. Jenn experiences her life as a dance, an often circular, rarely linear pathway. Her three-year “tinykitchendances”dance project, which was the inspiration for the “Tiny Movements” documentary, can be found on Instagram. She trained as a dancer at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and has studied and performed at the Bates College Dance Festival. She has also worked as an early childhood educator for over 20 years, guiding nursery and kindergarten classes at Waldorf schools in Brooklyn, Wilton, and Keene, New Hampshire, and Asheville, North Carolina. She particularly enjoys creating children’s yoga curriculums. Jenn finds real satisfaction in living in the world, parenting her 16 and 19-year-olds, collecting handmade pottery, and rarely choosing easy (but always choosing joy). She plans to return to school for a master’s in social work and eventually work as a therapist, using her many years of dance, art, and educational tools to support children and families.
