CIARA
Ciara has been a dancer throughout her life and has always aspired to
connect with others through her love for dance. As far as she can
remember, dance and music have always had a crucial part in bringing
her and her family together, and it is still such a profound source of
joy, love and escape. Throughout childhood and into her teenage years,
she has performed regularly in school hosted events, attended dance
classes and while in high school she and a friend founded a dance team
that focused on creating a safe and welcoming space for fellow
Students of Color. She began formal dance training in 2012 when she
moved to Chicago to attend Columbia College Chicago’s American Sign
Language Interpreting Program. While living in Chicago she took
classes and trained in Ballet, Modern, African, House, Hip-hop and
Bachata. Ciara continues to share her passion for dance, whether it is
in a social setting or in a studio. She loves teaching and of course
being a student, Ciara firmly believes that we are always a student
and there is always room for growth as a dancer. She believes that
dance is not only a physical experience but also an emotional and a
spiritual one and she wants to continue to share the ways dance has
had an impact on her life in the most positive and therapeutic ways.
When she is not dancing, she is working as a freelance American Sign
Language Interpreter. Although Ciara has grown up as a dancer, both
interpreting and dancing share the same space in her heart.
ACE
Andrea Arenas, nicknamed “Ace Fusion” was born in Ponce, Puerto
Rico and in the year 1995 moved to Brooklyn, N.Y, where they were
raised. Throughout their youth Ace was known as the “Dancing
Queen”. They attended Hip-hop, Salsa, Bachata classes and shared
their love for dance whenever the moment presented itself. Ace has
made it their goal to touch the hearts of others with love and
connection through music and dance. In the year 2009, after completing
high school Ace joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC).
All-the-while still continuing to pursue their love for dance as both
a social dancer and a student. Andrea believes that social dancing is
a way of life. Ace’s goal as a social dancer is to allow the person
they are dancing with to feel connected to the music in a powerful and
fulfilling manner. In Ace’s eyes, everyone is an amazing dancer and
every dance is what you make of it. To Ace, one of the most important
things about dancing is learning the origin of the style you are
dancing to, and understanding the key elements of what that music is
composed of. Traveling and dancing, have created so many wonderful
opportunities for Ace. While serving their country in the USMC and now
in their career as a Bachata instructor, Ace has had the chance to
teach and dance in places like Japan, Africa, Barcelona, Copenhagen,
France, and various states throughout the U.S. Ace is dedicated to
sharing all the knowledge that has been shared with them with future
dance generations to come.
