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 15 years. I have over 30 years of
trained experience teaching dance and 14 years experience running a dance
company.
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.
