Rachel Ironmonger and Jenna Busby are both graduates of Grant MacEwan’s Musical Theatre program. In addition to her studies with Grant MacEwan, Jenna holds a master’s degree in Musical Theatre Performance, while Rachel, alongside a BA in French and Spanish, is in her final year of completing an education degree. For the past seven years, they have been teaching musical theatre and acting classes for St. Albert Children’s Theatre, working with students of all ages, from babies to adults. Rachel has also choreographed several productions for the theatre! Jenna currently runs Ladybug Music Edmonton, an early childhood music program for children aged 0-4. As mothers of young children, both Rachel and Jenna are passionate advocates for arts education starting at an early age. From kitchen dance parties to creative play, they share the arts with their kids every day. They believe that early exposure to music, movement, and visual arts provides a holistic developmental experience, enhancing children’s intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth. This 45-minute toddler movement class will foster language development, motor skills, emotional awareness, self-expression, and creativity through music, movement and play. Rachel and Jenna are excited to share their passion and expertise with you!
