Miss Rio fell in love with the stage at the age of 3 in her hometown of Scottsdale, Arizona. For her, performing wasn’t just something she wanted to do—it was something she needed to do. She soon joined the Arizona Angels, an elite performance team dancing in parades, on football fields, in stadiums, and throughout the community. As a teen, she entered the competition world and embraced the challenge, always remembering that the true competition was improving on what she had done the day before.
Homeschooled at 12, Miss Rio had the flexibility to assist teach during the day and focus on her own dance training in the evenings. By 16, she was leading her Junior competitive dance team. By 18, she co-ran a studio. She completed her last two years of high school at the New School for the Arts and Academics in Tempe, graduating with an integrated major in Fashion Design and Dance. She later earned an AAS degree in Fashion Design and a BA in Psychology. Throughout her educational journey, her heart’s true passion remained with dance.
Lola’s dance journey started at the age of 3 and from the very first step, she fell in love with the stage. Even when she felt nervous before performing, she always encouraged her teammates to dance with confidence. Her passion always shone through, and she’d leave the stage more alive than ever.
Lola has been cast as leads in multiple musical theater productions through her school and Waukesha Civic Theater. She combines her love for dance with a deep passion for storytelling, creating performances that are as heartfelt as they are dynamic.
As a teacher, she brings patience and care to every class, making sure each dancer feels supported while having a blast along the way.
