You might know Areana from the mini team on Dance Moms, but these days she’s channeling other talents and designing dancewear you know and love, Kandi Kouture Dancewear!
It was scary but fun. I went to ALDCLA to audition and it was a long process with a lot of dancing. I remember re-fueling by going out to eat afterwards with my best friend Elliana Walmsley.
I had tried out for Dance Moms and when I found out I was actually going to be on the show, my heart dropped and I started packing my bags. I was sooo excited!
I would love to be on a Disney show. In fact, I’d love to have my own Disney show!
I loved meeting all of the other girls and dancing with them, especially the Bollywood dance.
I learned how to be a better dancer. I loved getting different advice from teachers other than my own, like Abby Lee.
I looked up to Maddie and Kalani a lot. They’re really amazing at dance but they’re also great role models.
I really look up to Christina Ricucci. She fought Lyme Disease and still kept dancing!
It is amazing because I have so much fun creating the dancewear and then I can model all of the designs we create!
I just love to be creative with them. I put a lot of love and fun into my designs.
Absolutely! I like to wear my own designs to dance, so I make sure they’re not only cute but comfortable to stretch and dance in.
Yes! I’d love to become a designer.
I really want to be a plastic surgeon!
Never give up. Always be kind, humble, and fun!
