Beginnings

Jacquelyn has been involved in the arts since the age of three, when her adoptive parents enrolled her in dance classes, prescribed by their family doctor as a treatment for rickets. What they didn’t know then is that this therapy for strengthening the legs would open up a whole world of creativity for their daughter.

Jacquelyn Brown was introduced to the arts by her adoptive parents at an early age.

Throughout her elementary and secondary school years, Jacquelyn studied dance extensively — acrobatics, tap, ballet, jazz, modern and baton. She toured in Canada and the United States as a contortionist and had her own touring majorette corps. During high school, she was an Ontario gold medalist in floor exercise, and much later, in her 30s, became an 11-time gold-medal winner in ballroom dancing.
