Ariel Elaine Braswell has been dancing for 13 years, most of which were spent at Studio J School of Dance studying under Lisa Woods, Meredith Powell, and Hilary McAlister. She had the opportunity to be in Studio J's competitive company which allowed her to take class from many esteemed choreographers from around the country. Ariel has had the privilege to assist at workshops such as OKLA and Soul de Soul and attend workshops with choreographers such as Mia Michaels, Brian Friedman, and Wade Robson.

This is Ariel's third year teaching at Studio J and she feels so grateful to have been chosen to teach and share art with so many wonderful and beautiful children. Ariel has been blessed by God with a wonderful husband, George D Braswell and knows that without him and God's blessing that she would never be where she is today.
