Jenna Smith - Owner/Teacher
Jenna’s passion for dance began in the 7th grade, sparking a lifelong love for the freedom and self-expression found in movement. She refined her craft and leadership as a member of the TVCC Cardettes and Pom Squad, eventually earning her B.A. in Dance and Education from Texas Woman’s University.
After years of teaching high school dance and coaching drill teams, Jenna is now fulfilling her long-held dream: creating a studio where dance is an act of worship. Her mission is to provide a space where students can master their technique in a way that honors God.
Beyond the studio, Jenna is a devoted wife to her husband, Robert, and currently homeschools their three beautiful children. She is thrilled to share her love for Christ and the arts with your family.
Serena Lero - Teacher
Joining our team Summer of 2026!
Serena has been dancing her entire life, with a strong foundation in classical ballet. She trained under Margo Dean and Frances Lea and performed as a company member with North Central Ballet. She later earned a dance scholarship to Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama, where she continued her training with a focus on choreography. Serena has performed at venues like Bass Hall, Texas Christian University, Dallas Baptist University, and the Kennedy Center. Her background blends disciplined classical technique with a lifelong passion for the art, and she enjoys helping students build both skill and confidence through ballet.
Serena has been married to her husband Matt for 21 years and is a homeschool mom to their three children. She is passionate about glorifying God through dance and is committed to creating a classroom where students grow in discipline, confidence, and character while using their gifts to honor Him.
Shelby Anderson - Teacher
Joining our team Summer of 2026!
For Shelby, dance has always been more than just movement; it’s been a way to worship since she first stepped into a studio at six years old. After years of training in Pom and Hip Hop through high school, she took her craft to the next level as an intern with Ingredients Dance Company. There, she blossomed into a leader and a technician.
When she isn't teaching or training, you’ll likely find Shelby serving at her church, dreaming about her next mission trip, or soaking up quality time with her family.
"The teachers at Faith in Motion are truly a blessing. They inspire my child not just to dance, but to dance with purpose and joy in her heart."
A grateful Faith in Motion parent
