biography:

Ara was inspired to begin dancing at the age of three by her brother, Michael. She initially trained with Rhythmic Fire, a group specializing in Latin dance styles such as Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, and Samba, where she honed her skills for 10 years. During this time, she traveled with the team to perform at numerous showcases and as guest performers at special events.

As her passion for dance grew, Ara joined several other dance teams, including Kreative in Dance Styles (K.I.D.S), MSquad (Madonna Dance Team), VDC (Vivacious Dance Crew), Soul90, and UHHU (Ryerson University Dance Team), where she expanded her expertise to hip hop and choreography. She competed in various dance competitions, such as So You Think You Can Dance, BYOB Post-Secondary, Prelude, and OUCH Post-Secondary.

In 2022, Ara became a member of O.N.E, continuing to nurture her passion for dance and exploring new styles to broaden her movement vocabulary. She is deeply grateful for the opportunity to share her love for dance with others and to keep learning and growing.
