Kenna Ayala began dancing since the age of 3 years old. She currently attends West Aurora High School as a Senior and will graduate in 2021. She has fifteen years of dance experience in every style of dance which includes Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Lyrical/Contemporary, Acro and Hip Hop. She started dancing for a competitive dance team at the age of 7 and has earned numerous awards and scholarships. This year will be her final year as a member of AKA Dance Company. She has been teaching ages 18 months through 6 years alongside Kim Ayala (mom) for 2 years. Kenna has been a mini/petite intern since 2017. She has choreographed dances for the mini company as well as junior company. Kenna’s favorite thing about teaching is watching her students' faces light up on stage and at recitals. Kenna loves to teach little ones and to show them new things. Her goal for dancers is to allow them to make memories they will have forever, to make friends and to simply enjoy dancing.
