ARI Torrisi was a student at BBS for 16 years.  Daughter of Assistant Director Lexi Torrisi, she grew up at the studio. She enjoyed some of the perks and challenges of being a dance teacher’s daughter.  Because her mom was busy with the show, Ari learned to be entirely independent in the performing world. Ari participated in all our premier programs and excelled in each one.  She traveled with Boundless Energy to California, New York, and Nashville for Dance the Magic performances. Ari demonstrates excellence in her technique, but her heartwarming showmanship makes her so captivating on stage. Ari trained to be a teacher under the supervision of her mom who is a wonderful mentor and has trained many of our instructors and assistants. Ari currently assists with gymnastics, dance, and summer camps. Her patience, tenderness, and class execution make her an excellent choice for our younger students. Ari has collaborated with Keele Flanigan and created a sound curriculum for our older ballet class. Her skill drills are first-rate, and her classic choreography challenges the dancers. Ari graduated from Southern High School and Garrett College. She earned an associate degree in applied science in Graphic and Web Design. Ari loves working with people and plans to volunteer.  She also works at Walgreens in the store and pharmacy.
