I know that the continued growth in your desire to further offer opportunities to others will definitely come back 10-fold with many benefits for you as well. Just for the record...I have been truly inspired by your class. Being able to do what you enjoy is beyond measure.
Much success in endeavors and be continually blessed.
Thanks again,

Thank you for sharing, Carlena!!! There is so much in your story that is relatable for other dancers so to hear how you got started and where your career has taken you is so inspirational. Congratulations!!

The Three D's -- what a great idea to support us from the core as dancers.
Dedication -- how to achieve a goal
Discipline -- never be defeated by weakness, always maintain respect for yourself and others, remain professional
Determination -- ACCEPT YOUR BLESSINGS (love this), never quit and work for your goal of excellence
What an insightful video -- its very comforting and exciting to know there are people who WANT to mentor others in the dance profession -- that we can continue to be supported by industry professionals with years of experience and knowledge (just like this website). So great!!

Carlena, thank you so much for sharing your story. I am beyond inspired by your dedication and passion. It makes me so happy to know that YOU are receiving recognition for a story that is REAL. It is something that every dancer should hear,
and especially those who are seriously getting into the industry!
Congratulations on all of your wonderful successes!

“Hello, My daughter Ariel Johnson attended an all day session on August 6th in Scranton, PA. We wanted to take the time to thank you "personally" for coming to our area and teaching the participants. She was very excited to be able to participate and dance! She doesn't have hip-hop at the studio she attends, so this was very special to her. She loves to move like that. Ariel was talking about her day all evening and going over the” moves" so that she does not forget them. Ariel was hoping that there would be another opportunity like this one in the future. She said that she is willing to learn more and maybe win an audition in NYC. Again, thanks for coming to our area!
The teachers were great!

WOW Carlena! What an AMAZING story you share in this interview. I am so inspired by you and all you've accomplished in the industry. I almost didn't listen to this interview because I saw how long it was...but 5 minutes in, you had me hooked! Your story is worth the time to listen. I just pushed play and kept it going while I cleared out my inbox and kept busy. It was so worth it. There's so much good stuff in here and I'm inspired by how strong you are and how you never compromised your integrity even when you were being encouraged to do things you felt were wrong for you...I encourage everyone to listen...set aside the time and get ready to be inspired!
Thank you for posting this.

I want you to know that the Thursday night class has really been an important place for Angelitathrough out the past 3 months. Anyway, your class has been therapeutic in a sense and I deeply appreciate the little light of happiness it brings to her week. As a teacher, I know it’s hard to know the real impact you have on your students' lives. So, here is a little testament to your good work.
