Ariel Timanson

Dance Instructor

Dance has been part of Ariel’s life since she was just three years old. For her, dance is more than movement – it’s a way to express who she truly is. That love for expression, paired with her dedication to growth, naturally led her to teaching. Ariel has now been instructing for three years, and she is thrilled to share her knowledge while being part of the supportive and inspiring community at Ark Dance Academy.

Her qualifications include RAD ballet exams up to the Advanced level and Acrobatic Arts certification (Level 1), giving her a strong technical foundation to guide dancers of all ages. Ariel is passionate about making dance both disciplined and joyful, encouraging students to grow in confidence and artistry.

When she’s not in the studio, Ariel loves spending time outdoors – whether camping, hiking, or swimming. Her favourite things are a reflection of her vibrant personality: pink, sushi, and a chai latte with a shot of espresso. She describes herself as a “Friday” – fun yet productive, and friends often compare her to Rachel from Friends for her humor, warmth, and spark.

In the studio, Ariel’s real superpower is connecting with dancers and helping them find their own voice through movement. At Ark, she’s excited to continue inspiring the next generation of dancers, sharing not just technique but also the joy and freedom that dance has always given her.
