When not dancing Jennifer can be found teaching Pilates. She believes in it's ability to help individuals, including herself, find their body’s greatest potential and comfort in movement. Through this exploration, she discovered a love for teaching from the "inside out" and enjoys working with injured dancers and athletes. She completed her mat and apparatus certifications at the Kane School of Core Integration in NYC, and is employed at Kinected, a Pilates studio in Chelsea. Just recently, Jennifer left her job at The Printing House at Equinox in NYC to focus more on her dance career. In addition to Pilates, Jennifer is also a certified Zumba® instructor and TRX® Suspension Trainer. Ms. Cadden has appeared in Pilates Style Magazine, The Wall Street Journal and was seen teaching Zumba on ABC's "The Revolution"
