In 2023 we want to take time to recognize all the wonderful people that make this studio possible. We have an amazing staff with qualifications out of the roof… but they are more than just dancers and educators. So for the next couple of weeks, we will be getting to know the humans behind the teacher, and their little fun facts.
This week we are diving into the little details of Miss Iydan!
There are many colors out there in the world, and she couldn’t possibly choose just one. The colors that have caught attention of Miss Iydan are PINK🌸 & PURPLE💜! Two colors that seems like cousins. Purple is the color of royalty, and pink makes us think of all things sweet. So we completely understand why she loves them so.
When it comes to food Miss Iydan loves the savory goodness of a good french fry! They pair well with just about anything, and come in many forms. You can dress them up any way you’d like, or keep them simple and salty. Truly who doesn’t love a good ‘ol french fry now and then?
Music is the love language of one Miss Iydan❤️. It’s a big part of who she is. Her favorite song is constantly changing. But with all the music out there how could it not for such a music lover🎵? Today the songs that get her heart singing is ‘Do It’ by Chloe X Halle and ‘Lovergirl’ by Teena Marie.
Just like with song our teacher of the week believes there are too many amazing artists out there to pick just one☝️. So here are a few at the top of her long list of song birds🎤🦜: Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Doja Cat, Mariah Carey, and Brandy!
We are made a memories☁️, and as we grow older we become a product all the things we have experienced along the way. Some memories stick our more than others💬. At the end of the day memories are things we have to old onto throughout our life time. Miss Iydan’s all time favorite memories were made during the summer in her home state of main with her family.🌲
Even though everyone here is an amazing dancer our teachers are much more than that. Outside of the studio, Miss Iydan loves anything related to making and listening to music🎼 . When she wants to relax she loves to crack open a book 📚 or get to some writing of down of her own. If she needs a little brain teacher that calms the soul at the same time she will take to a puzzle.🧩
Possessions can come in many different shapes or forms. Some things are tangible, others are things that live within us like the memories we hold from walking through life. Miss Iydan’s most prized possession is her journals📓. She loves writing ✍️ and keeping all the journals that she’s written over the years.
Our teachers here at Reach For the Barres are fountains of knowledge⛲️. They are people who are full of amazing advice. What Miss Iydan would like to pass on to the students here is “Try EVERYTHING. You’re never gonna now where you’re gonna find your passion, or maybe meet your new best friend, so don’t be afraid to step out of your box.”💕
These are just a few of the things that make Miss Iydan so special!

This week we are diving into the little details of Miss Maraya!
There are many colors out there in the world, and she couldn’t possibly choose just one. The colors that have caught attention of Miss Maraya are FOREST GREEN🌲 & LILAC PURPLE🦄! Two colors that are complete opposites but two she loves dearly. This shade of purple has her thinking of spring flowers, and this particular green makes her think of the forests she grew up in. So we completely understand why she loves them so.
When it comes to food Miss Maraya loves the loves PASTA🍝. In any shape, way, or form she will take it. You can never go wrong with a big warm bowl of it’s goodness❤️. The best pasta she ever had naturally is the variety she indulge in while in Italy.
Maraya couldn’t go a single day without music🎵. Her life is full of it. Everything has a soundtrack in her world. From the dance classes she teaches to the songs she listens to in the car. It is truly hard for her to pick one favorite song. But some of her favorites are ‘Grey Street’ By Dave Matthews Band, ‘Adore You’ By Harry Styles, and a new favorite ‘Ceilings’ Lizzie McApline.🙌
Anyone who knows Maraya will know who her favorite artist is without a doubt🎤. She doesn’t go a day without listening to this artist, and has been a fan for over a decade⌛️.

She looks back fondly on her summers with her family. Every year Maraya’s family and her moms best friend and their family would spend 2 weeks at the beach together. Without fail every year was filled with sunshine☀️, 4th of July celebrations🇺🇸, and carnivals🎡. She looked forward to this time with the people that meant most to her every year.
Even though everyone here is an amazing dancer our teachers are much more than that. Outside of the studio, Miss Maraya loves to write✍️. From short stories to poems she loves to create worlds with pen & paper. It’s another way for her to be creative, and express her heart. She also loves to read📖. Which is no surprise since she loves to write. She loves that you can get lost in a story. Miss Maraya could spend a whole day reading and never get bored.🤩
Possessions can come in many different shapes or forms. There are 2 items that Miss Maraya holds near and dear to her. Both belonging to her mother. She keeps her mothers engagement ring 💍in a safe space🔐 & wears on extra special occasions. But the one she couldn’t live without is the necklace her mom wore everyday. It’s something that has been passed down form mother to mother for generations👩👩👧. Whenever Miss Maraya isn’t at the studio she has is on her neck.

From female empowerment, to strong ballads🎤, and music that makes you want to get up and dance.. she does oes it all. I mean did you see her Super Bowl performance?! 🏈
We are product of all our memories. They make up who we are today. And Miss Alyssa wouldn’t be the same without her favorite memory💕. She will never forget when she got her first leading role in a musical, and it was Peter Pan. Nothing could compare to being able to actually fly around stage! ✈️
