“…a beautiful girl and a beautiful dancer… always radiant in idealism and love. That is why I saw [the] show twice! [Her] show at Awakenings had everything good art should have- pathos, sensuality, humor, a sense of cultural lineage, new invention and grace; carefully blended and balanced to serve up a kinetic cocktail conquering but still complimentary to everything else served that night at that cute coffee house! All I can say is when you dance I get goose bumps!”
~ Zoot Velasco, Executive Director, Muckenthaler Cultural Center
“Jennifer is truly dedicated not only to her dancing profession, but also to the humanities in general. She has traveled abroad… and has brought back a wealth of cultural knowledge that only adds richness to her dance repertoire… She involves herself in numerous endeavors and seeks creativity and loving kindness whenever and wherever she performs. She has truly been an asset to our Center and the university, but continues to be for the community at large”.
~ Cynthia Schultheis, Assistant Director, CSULB Multicultural Center

“I watched Jennifer ‘Tehani’ Sarreal give a fun, engaging and educational dance performance at the Alondra library for an audience of kids of all ages as well as a wide age range of adults. Her knowledge of various Pacific cultures was impressive and her dancing wonderful. She’s all that and a bag of blue corn chips!”
~Michael D. McCarty, Storyteller
