Hi, my name is Jenna Hones, and I am delighted to introduce myself as the Principal of PQA Abingdon and PQA Eastleigh. I started dancing at the age of 3 and competing in nationwide competitions. I went on to train at Bodywork Company Dance Studios in Cambridge, where I graduated as head girl with a distinction. I have since gone on to have a successful career as a professional dancer.
