​Misauti Voros -Teaching Assistant
My name is Misauti Voros. I am 15 and I help assist dance classes with Miss Richele at Arrow Dance Studio. I have some dance background, and I am currently in competitive gymnastics. I am also a junior coach for gymnastics. I enjoy working with kids and helping them stay healthy and active while having fun. I assisted the first year the studio was open, as well as the summer dance camp. I am looking forward to being back again this year. I love meeting all the kids and parents and helping them learn the basics of dance. The studio is a great place to work and I very much enjoy being a teacher there.
