Jenna Lee
Preliminary Round Judge & Ballet Mentor
Jenna was with the English National Ballet for 12 years. As a soloist she performed roles such as The Lilac Fairy in Sleeping Beauty and Queen of the Willis in Giselle. This variety of roles, paired with a keen eye for new and diverse culture, has enabled Jenna to explore a variety of different art techniques and styles, enhancing her choreographic scope.
She created many of English National Ballet’s more adventurous small scale dance works. In 2006 Jenna choreographed Ballet Rocks to launch Sky HD. The piece was a Brit packed collaboration, with music by Bloc Party and costume by Giles Deacon.
Jenna is passionate about fusing classical ballet with the unexpected to keep it fresh and current. She recently collaborated with record breaking human beatboxer Shlomo, to create a new performance piece CONFLUX, fusing beatboxing, breakdancing and ballet. Her talents got recognized in Dubai and she was commissioned to create a pas de deux for a dance gala.
Jenna now focuses on choreography and her company - JLee Productions, which provides bespoke ballet performances and she has delivered workshops all over the world.
