As a teacher, it is Arielle Elonys’ goal to give each student the opportunity to become an individual and be celebrated for it. She believes that dance can be beautiful on array of levels, not only technically. Until a dancer has deeper insight into their own soul they cannot truly share through the art of dance. Though her training comes from a technical, collegiate base, to dance is human, and to be human is to forge connection and community through vulnerability. In an attempt to be the best "technical dancer" too many dancers now-a-days have forgotten what means TO DANCE. As a teacher, Arielle Elonys creates a space that facilitates students to once again familiarize themselves with WHY they dance. From there she moves forward with skill building class work that enhances overall performance quality in association with technical ability. She works with concepts that vary from technicalities of subtle movement to a broad expansive movement, and everything in between, while integrating true emotions, respective to each musical genre that she teaches. 

Arielle Elonys had the love of dance instilled in her from her mother, Cynthia Coker. As a young dancer, Elonys trained at her mothers studio in South Texas. Mrs. Coker has a Masters of Arts in Dance from Southern Methodist University. In her years of training young dancers, many of them took the foundation that she gave them to pursue a career in dance. One dancer, Willy Shives, even became the ballet master of Joffery Chicago. In addition, since Mrs. Coker possesses such profound technical teachings, she only hired the most qualified teachers to work at her studio. Their resumes boast of training from Alvin Ailey, American Ballet Theatre, Fordham University, and Joffery just to name a few. In the summers Arielle Elonys would train with Bruce Marks, the man who single handedly turned the Boston Ballet around.

Growing up with this high level of training, it only felt right for Elonys to then carry her training on and accomplish her own degree in dance. Arielle now has her Bachelors of Arts in dance from Loyola Marymount University. 

She has taken her training and continued to build on her education so she can share her knowledge with the next generation of dancers. Elonys has spent the last five years teaching, judging and hosting for Showstopper Dance Competitions. She has quickly become a staple of the company, even modeling for their nationwide advertisements. Students love to take her class, the environment she creates allows all students to feel loved, appreciated, and free to explore all dance has to offer.
