This year is Briella’s 13th year of dancing and her 9th year as a member of the Encore Competitive Dance Team. Throughout her dance journey, she has had the opportunity to train in a variety of styles including ballet, pointe, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, tap, hip hop, and musical theater. Briella has also competed and taken classes through Youth American Grand Prix (YAGP).

 

Additionally, she has received a tap scholarship at the Tremaine Dance Convention/Competition. She has been assisting with dance classes since fourth grade and began subbing dance classes in seventh grade. Briella has participated in nine Croswell shows, with her most recent production being Matilda. She is currently a junior at Madison High School and is part of the Education Careers program at the LISD Tech Center. She has volunteered with organizations including the Boys & Girls Club, The Croswell, and the Adrian Public District Library.

 

Briella is currently working toward earning her CDA (Child Development Associate) certification and MiYDA (Michigan Youth Development Associate) certification, which will help her continue building her skills and experience. Briella is extremely excited for her first year officially working as a dance instructor and sharing her love of dance with her students!
