“I admire Arethajay for a few reasons. She has played such a big part in me falling in love with dance. Coming from a previous environment that looked as old and and grey as it felt, she came and put some colour in my life. It’s been such a pleasure to work with her.

Yes, she may have many big contacts in this industry. 

Yes, her training will push you far beyond what you thought your limits were …. And then some!

But what I find most endearing about Arethajay isn’t all of the connections, not even the physical training, IT’S HER! Her wisdom. The conversations we’ve had remind me so much of home. She’s allowed me to understand that growth comes in many different ways and sometimes you may have to work 10x harder than other people just to meet the exact same expectations; but miss Arethajay doesn’t play. She will give you the tools you need to get to the next level, so you’ll be alright!!”
