NAYDA ARENA FOUNDER, DIRECTOR AND TEACHER I began dancing at the age of 3, I was 17 when I was accepted into “THE JOFFREY BALLET CO.". It was at this age that I gave my life over to The Lord and I have walked faithfully with Him for over 28 years. I have also had extensive dance training at, Virginia Lee's Dance School, Lydia's School of Dance and also at Alvin Ailey's American Dance Theater's, The Ailey School.
My teaching experience goes back to when I was 12 years old and I began student teaching at "VIRGINIA LEE’S DANCE SCHOOL" in Brooklyn, NY. Once fully trained to teach I remained teaching and dancing in their performing company for several more years. I have had the opportunity to teach Christian children to dance for The Lord at "THE UPPERROOM CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP" in Brooklyn, NY, where I also ministered in dance and drama. I have also had the wonderful privilege of choreographing and teaching children for "GATEWAY CATHEDRALS children performances and also, CELEBRATE AMERICA and CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS PAGEANTS", of which I also performed in. I currently have the wonderful privilege of dancing in worship at "Faith Fellowship Ministries World Outreach Center" (FFMWOC) in Sayreville, NJ, ministering during Sunday services of which I am a member. I have also had the priviledge of performing in FFMWOC'S INTERNATIONAL PASTOR'S AND MINISTER'S CONFERENCE (IPMC) and their CHRISTMAS and EASTER PRODUCTIONS. Most recently I have had the priveledge of choreographing for FFMWOC Christmas and Easter events.
“THE FULL SOUL" has been in operation for 13 years. I have over 29 years of trained experience teaching dance and I have been a trained dancer for nearly 43 years.
I have been so blessed by The Lord to be able to teach children and adults alike to dance for HIM. I thank The Lord for His clear direction in my life and in the gift of dance. I count myself fully blessed to be able to use this gift for His purposes.
