Jillian Bateman

Jillian Bateman started dancing when she was 3 and has continued with her passion as a dance/aerobic instructor for the last 13 years. Along the way, Jillian studied to become a certified Kick Boxing Instructor, and also graduated from ATDI (American Tap Dance Institute). Her company, “Just Tap,” merged with Bainbridge Ballet winter of 2003. Jillian has trained under Reggie Bardach, Sheryl Johnson, Anthony Peters and Chris Baker. She continually works towards expanding her skill in dance by attending different festivals and workshops local and national. July of 2004, Jillian taught at ATDI’s Tap conference as a master teacher. In May of 2005, Jillian started “Dance Variations” to expand her dance outside of Bainbridge.

Having dance tie in so closely to fitness, Jillian felt compelled to expand her knowledge and become certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine. She also holds a NETA Group Fitness Certification, BTS Group Power, Kettlebell Concepts, Zumba and specializes in Metabolic Testing.

Jillian takes her 20 years of dancing experience and combines creativity with a well-rounded knowledge of what dance is all about. Her focus as a teacher is to give students an opportunity to make dancing fun and exciting, while developing their own self-expression and confidence. When not at the gym or dancing, Jillian, is enjoying her two daughter's and husband’s company.
