Brianna grew up in the small mountain community of Lake Arrowhead in Southern California, where she started her dance training at the early age of 3 with a local ballet and dance school. There she studied many forms of dance including ballet, jazz, tap, and any other style the school would offer. She also performed in many different dance productions with the school over her many years there.
Brianna always took on multiple pieces for the school's annual spring show, which included traditional ballet performances along with jazz, tap, and contemporary styles.She was also in the school's ballet productions with some of her favorites being La Boutique Fantasque, Cinderella, Peter and the Wolf, Hansel & Gretel, Paquita, Stars & Stripes, Union Jack and Swanside Story.
In 1994 her dance school started a ballet company where she auditioned and became a member at the young age of 12. She danced with the company for 4 years and in those years she performed in shows such as New York New York, The Little Match Girl, and their annual Nutcracker production.
Around the same age Brianna started auditioning and was excepted for different summer intensive programs with companies that included The San Francisco Ballet, Joffrey Ballet, Milwaukee Ballet, Pennsylvania Rock of Ballet, Houston Ballet and Colorado Ballet where she spent the summer of 1998.
In her last year with the company Brianna was in a car accident, the doctors later told her she either needed to have major surgery or be done with her dance career. Being young Brianna chose to stop dance and later moved to San Diego, CA in 1999.
After taking 10 years away from Dance Brianna found herself living close to her hometown and went right back to her childhood studio. As an adult she started over in her training. She was teaching ballet and Lyrical for the studio and was dancing in their company production of the nutcracker where she performed the roles of Sugarplum Fairy, Snow Queen, Arabian, Mirliton, and Waltz of the Flowers.
In 2015 Brianna wanted to take her career a little further and in 2016 became a dance masters member and got her DMA certificate to teach ballet. That year Brianna started a Dance team, and in 2017 the team won top overall and most unique dance at the Dance Masters Pacific Coast Chapter 1 DMA annual dance competition. Brianna has enjoyed dancing and teaching with her old studio and loves all her students, but in 2018 she realized that there she was ready to open her own studio.

Now she is able to teach both children and adults all the wonderful techniques and strength in styles that she has learned over her many years of studying dance.
