Director & Founder
LUNAWAT
At the young age of 4, Mrs. Anabelle realized her passion for dance and ballet. In order to become proficient at ballet, one must be extremely dedicated to the art and diligence of practice and rehearsal time. During her childhood years, she was consumed by the disciplined lifestyle of ballet and followed this through with determination.
What transpired is a lifetime dedication to the beauty of ballet. Throughout her years of study as a young adult, the dream to teach was ruminating within her mind, body, and soul. Her devotion to the art of ballet and commitment to her students is the foundation of the very heart of Bella Academy. She can’t remember a time when she wasn’t fueled by this focus for her three loves: teaching, children, and ballet. She feels blessed to be able to have a thriving career made up of all three!
