About Bella

Bella is originally from Richardson, Texas, and has been dancing since she was two years old. She was a member of the J.J. Pearce High School Pacesetters, where she served as Captain during her senior year.

After high school, Bella auditioned for the World-Famous Kilgore College Rangerettes and was selected as a member of the 81st line from 2020–2022. During her time as a Rangerette, Bella had the opportunity to perform at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame, the Texas State Fair, the 2022 Cattle Baron’s Ball in Houston, and aboard the U.S.S. Missouri at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii, where she performed in honor of our veterans.

After Kilgore, Bella attended The University of Texas at Austin, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Health Education in May 2024. During her time at UT, she discovered her passion for teaching at Tarrytown Dance, where she began teaching a variety of classes, including Jazz Technique, Leaps & Turns, and Lyrical/Contemporary, while also having the opportunity to work with the DanceFORCE competition teams.

Prior to joining Tarrytown Dance, Bella worked with Kickin’ It With Rains’ Collegiate Dance Boot Camp as an instructor for high school-aged dancers pursuing collegiate dance teams. She also taught at Intensive Dance Company in Henderson, Texas.

In addition to teaching at Tarrytown Dance, Bella is currently in her third year as the Dance Director at Cele Middle School in Pflugerville, Texas. Bella is excited to be back with Tarrytown Dance this year and can’t wait to watch her students learn, grow, and thrive throughout the year!
