Why Dance
Benefits of Dancing
Dance is a form of art with proper instruction. However, anybody can be guided and encouraged to explore the joy of movement to all kinds of music.
My name is Jenna, I’m 20 years old and I’m a current junior at Loyola University Maryland. My dancing career at Alyce Carella started when I was two years old. During my time there, I met some of my best friends and I was able to build my confidence though dance. I was a shy girl in elementary and middle school, but coming to the dance studio I was able to show my “true colors”.
At the studio, I did all types of dance but my favorite style was Ballet, who I studied under Tatsiana Galitskaya. I joined her class when I was in 3rd grade and she grew to be someone I always will looked up to. Starting my freshman year of high school, I was student teaching 5 of her classes.
Overall, I have had the best experience at Alyce Carella and it gave me a great foundation for dance in college. This summer, I will be teaching Contemporary at the studio, and in college, I teach a Lyrical class! Alyce Carella Dance Center was my second home!
