"Teaching is about inspiring, mentoring, and allowing young artists to discover their passion for the arts and their unique voice through dance."

When asked what she wanted to be when she was grew up, young Arielle's response was always: "I want to be a jazz dance teacher". One of her first childhood memories is choreographing a solo for her school talent show in kindergarten. Her natural talent for creating continued to blossom throughout her childhood, translating into her love for performing.

While studying commercial dance at the Orange County School of the Arts, she was allowed to fine-tune her choreographic process, explore creating movement for camera, and begin developing her teaching methods. Her choreography was featured in several conservatory shows and won best choreography her senior year.

After graduating, Arielle had the opportunity to work with several rising artists on their music videos while collaborating with USC and Chapman students on independent films. She also directs and produces her own concept videos in partnership with her digital agency, The 951 Creative.

Arielle began teaching dance at 16 years old. In her junior year of high school, she developed a program called Dance Science Integration with the help of the Dragon Kim Foundation's Fellowship. That summer she helped 30 low-income elementary school students understand the art of dance and the science behind it. Later that year, she began teaching musical theatre at Dance Stars Academy of Performing Arts.

Now, Arielle utilizes her training on current techniques, styles, and lessons to help her dancers reach their goals. She is passionate about inspiring and mentoring young dancers while helping them discover their unique artistic voice. She emphasizes healthy movement practices, strong technique, and confidence, encouraging every student to reach their fullest potential both in and out of the studio.

Before her move to NYC, Arielle was on faculty at Dancecapade as a jazz, contemporary, and conditioning teacher as well as the competition team coach. She was also the head choreographer for Next Big Thing Academy, a musical theatre training program in Orange County.
