Ariela is excited and grateful to be continuing her journey with the New Orleans Pelsquad for her second year. She was enrolled in dance at just two years old and started competing with Performers Edge Dance Academy at three. She continued competing for 13 years while training in all genres of dance, which include but are not limited to ballet, hip-hop, contemporary, jazz, and more. She has also danced for the Brooklyn Nets Kids Dance Team and has performed at events such as the US Open, Fall Jam, and an NBA All-Star game to name a few.
Outside of dance, Ariela enjoys taking on new challenges academically and exploring different fields of study. Currently, Ariela is entering her third year as an undergraduate at Loyola University in New Orleans. While majoring in mass communication with a concentration in advertising, she is also minoring in computer science.
“As a second year member, I am extremely grateful to have been chosen again to continue my journey with the Pelicans. I am so glad to be with the best team and cannot wait for this season. See you at the blender!!!”
