MULTI-HYPHENATE ARTIST: PERFORMER. CHOREOGRAPHER. EDUCATOR. THEATRICAL HUMAN.

Most notably, Ariana was selected as the 2023-2024 SDCF Choreography Shadow for MOULIN ROUGE! Broadway. She had the privilege to observe Camden Gonzales (Associate Choreographer) during the U.S. national touring company’s rehearsals in NYC. Ariana is represented as a 3x grant recipient for her choreographic endeavors via the Mertz Gilmore Foundation, NYC Dept. of Cultural Affairs, and Howard Gilman Foundation.

As an arts educator, Ariana’s background includes: recurring & guest faculty positions for various dance studios & institutions; public school residencies across the NYC boroughs; and serving as an adjudicator on the competition circuit. Her students have performed at some of NYC’s most celebrated venues like the Barclays Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Symphony Space, and The Town Hall. In 2025, Ariana celebrated her Steps On Broadway teaching debut through collaboration with Hugo Brument Scuderi for Int. Theater Fusion.

Ariana earned her B.A. in Theatre Arts (summa cum laude) from SUNY New Paltz. Her vocal coaching was heavily rooted in musical theatre with secondary studies in the Italian aria (Florence University of the Arts). Her acting training centered on Meisner, Stanislavski, & Stella Adler techniques. During this time, Ariana’s early choreographic work was championed by a dear mentor, Joe Langworth, and that guidance sparked the beginning of her professional, creative pursuits over the past decade. As a performer, Ariana has worked in regional theatre, commercial dance, and NYC-based projects with well-respected industry creatives.
