✨ MEET OUR NEWEST STAFF MEMBER — DESIREE POWELL! ✨
We are so excited to welcome Desiree Powell to the AIM family this season! 🤍
Desiree brings so much kindness, positivity, and a beautiful knowledge and love of dance to our studio. We are thrilled to have her sharing that passion with our dancers during Season 21!
💃 DANCE STYLE YOU LOVE TEACHING
Jazz! I love teaching jazz because it’s energetic, fun, and gives dancers the opportunity to bring their own personality into every performance.
⭐ FAVORITE DANCE MEMORY
I have always loved dancing, performing, and competing, but my favorite dance memories now come from teaching.
There is something incredibly rewarding about watching a student finally master a move they’ve worked so hard to learn. Seeing my dancers perform and watching their passion and love for dance grow is one of the most fulfilling parts of being an instructor.
🤍 SOMETHING DANCERS MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU
I come from a big family! I have seven brothers — six older and one younger — which makes me the only girl!
I loved growing up surrounded by a big family, so having five children of my own felt completely natural. Family is incredibly important to me, and I cherish the love, support, and connection that comes with having a close-knit family.
✨ WORDS YOU LIVE BY
“Choose your hard.”
It’s something my mom always told me. She reminded me that life is hard no matter what, but we get to choose which challenges we are willing to face.
She also loved to say, “Life is hard, but you can do hard things.”
Those words have taught me to embrace challenges, work through difficult moments, and keep moving forward even when things get tough.
🎉 FUN FACT
I love cooking and baking — although deciding what to make might be the hardest part! 😂 I’ve always loved being in the kitchen, whether I’m making a meal or baking something sweet.
And I’m definitely a Dr Pepper fan — especially with coconut! 🥥🥤
Please help us give Desiree a HUGE AIM welcome! 🖤🤍
We are so happy to have her as part of our team and can’t wait for our dancers and families to get to know her this season!
Welcome to AIM, Desiree! ✨
