I have been a student of Ms. Chenault and now I’m excited to join her side in her vision to create the best dance team and the strongest, well rounded competitors. I have always had a passion for dance and I am thrilled to have this opportunity to coach and choreograph. I am a PROUD Alumni of, the Chenaulte Dancers organization and I look forward to a very successful year with this wonderful group of young dancers ~Jetawn Ruggs
