Originally from Virginia, Ariel studied and focused on classical ballet. There she performed with a pre-professional ballet company, and started her love of teaching early by assisting with younger classes. Throughout her career Ariel has won numerous regional and national titles. She then began teaching at several area studios once she graduated. In 2018, she relocated to the Upstate with her husband and four children, and is thrilled to be back doing what she loves in a new area. Her eye for detail and impeccable ballet technique coupled with her fun and energetic personality have made her ballet classes a studio favorite.
