In Step With DC
Getting to Know You: Miss Arial!
Written by Joe Naftal on November 17, 2017

Today we are featuring Miss Arial in our latest edition of “Getting to Know You”!  The “Getting to Know You” series helps us get to know each of the Dance Connection teachers and staff we get to see at the studio every week and learn a little bit more about them.

 

In her free time, Miss Arial likes to spend time with her family.  She has a 7 year old girl named Briella and a 1 year old son named Lorenzo.  They love to shop, play, and cook together on mommy’s nights off.

Her favorite song that she’s ever danced to was “Black Betty”, a trio that she, Miss Jenn, and Miss Molly did.  Her favorite song that she choreographed “Twisted Circus” for our competition team.

Miss Arial choses to work at Dance Connection because “of the family friendly environment and positive influence” it has had on her and her children.

Miss Arial’s Favorites:

Movie: Grease
Inspirational Quote: “Dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion”
Comfort Food: Ice Cream and anything Italian
Favorite Time of Year at Dance Connection: Halloween time!

The best advice that Miss Arial has for our DC students is to “work hard, have fun, stay positive, and always communicate with your teacher if necessary”.
