Born in Santa Clarita, CA, Ariana has been raised in the midst of the entertainment world. This very energetic Triple-Threat, blue-eyed, red headed, freckled faced girl is full of determination to be an amazing actor, singer, dancer, and performer. This 10 year old has been training nearly all her life. She started gymnastics at the age of 2, dancing and singing at the age of 3, and acting at the age of 6. Her training has put a lot of happy mileage on her Mom’s mini van.

Continuing in gymnastics, she has become a strong athlete. She has earned the privilege to compete on the gymnastics team in Santa Clarita. The techniques, strength, and discipline she has learned from gymnastics, are tools she has taken with her to become a strong dancer.

Ariana started taking at Miss Debby’s Royal Academy of Dance School at the age of 3, where she currently completed Level 5 Ballet Exams. At the age of 4, she began taking jazz/hip hop dance classes at local studios, and is now an advanced dancer. She has studied with teachers and choreographers such as Shane Sparks (You Got Served), Bradley “Shooz” Rapier (The Groovaloo’s), Meisha Lee, (JLS Entertainment) Jesselee Santos (Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson), Veda Burton (Lil’ C, AMA awards), and Debby Marino (Royal Academy of Dance/Ballet-London). She also trains at "Millennium Dance Complex", and “Debbie Reynolds Studios”, in pop locking, hip-hop, and break dancing. Ariana’s flexibility and strength allows her to do the splits, spin on her head, do the "baby", headstand, back walkovers, aerials, back-handsprings, and is now working on accomplishing her back tuck flip.

Ariana also has a strong desire to act and started her dramatic/theater/acting training with Chris Baber’s of Hines and Hunt. She then began working with instructors at In House Media, including Hallie Todd (Lizzie McGuire) as well as improvisation and on camera classes with Diane Christiansen & Chris Ferra-Gilmore. She now studies with Lisa Picotte and David Kaufman (Danny Phantom) @ Aaron Speiser Studios, and Private Coaching. Only after a few months of training, her witty acting skills landed her a roll in a Pilot called, "Snapshots on TV," which is currently on hold with PBS. Last year, Ariana played the world’s youngest chef in a pilot called "Kiddfit", with NBC Las Vegas star, Josh Duhamel. Then Ariana landed a starring role in the short movie, "Grace", New York Film Academy student film. Grace is a young ballet dancer who is accidentally killed by her father. Ariana also hit the runway wearing the costumes for the "Season's 2006 Halloween Catalog". Her images will be on Halloween costumes in stores around the world, as well as the catalog for next year. Ariana has also been cast in “The Santa Clause 3”, as “The Table Maker Elf.”

Ariana not only loves to dance and act, but she lives to be in front of the mic. She has finished her first single, “Lil’ Miss Popular”. She enthusiastically loves to write and sing songs of all types. Dreaming of playing the role of Annie in "Annie", she can belt out "Maybe" and "Tomorrow". She is also soulful with her rendition of "Proud Mary" and can rock the house with "Heartbreaker." She is featured on the new Soul Tree CD, doing a duo vocal improvisation with recording artist Lil’ Bubba.

This active child also is great with animals. She loves to spoil her 2 dogs, Daisy & Chloe and her lovebird named "Lucky-Paco." She also loves to swim, ice skate, ride her bike, razor scooter, and loves people of all ages.

Ariana’s charismatic facial expressions, her sweetness mixed with her wittiness, and dynamic personality will leave you smiling, but be prepared; she has a contagious, gut-wrenching laugh.
