Smietanski shared “I am grateful and excited to be given the opportunity to coach the JCA Dance Team. Being that I am a former IHSA competitive dancer and choreographer, I am very familiar with the successful legacy of this program and feel honored to coach these talented dancers. I am eager to continue growing the JCA Dance Team’s legacy, as we set and reach our new team goals for the season. I feel blessed to be a part of such a strongly connected, welcoming, and hard-working community.”
