Dayri Almonte Ortiz

Dance Student

"Since Ms. Christal became my dance teacher, I quickly discovered what I wanted to do for a living. She is such a positive, kind soul that loves to help her students and make them feel happy and appreciated with every class. Before, I thought that I wanted to become a doctor but after all the opportunities she gave me, such as the 1st Annual All State Middle School Showcase and also by nominating me for the 2nd All County Dance Ensemble in MCPS- as well as all the things she taught me- I now have discovered my new passion! She has taught me my favorite styles of dance which are modern, Latin and contemporary, as well as many other things! she is such a great role model that I will always look up to, she is also so AMAZING at what she does. I have to say that her way of teaching is impeccable and she is just really the sweetest person... Ms. Christal has prepared me for my future career and I will be forever grateful. I hope she can keep sprinkling happiness and creativity into other people’s life with her stunning personality and kind heart."

“I took my first ballet class with Mrs. Christal at 17 and never would've imagined that my body would be able to endure all the positive training she has instilled. She has been a big part of my miracle story from teaching, learning, and collaborating with her. She has progressed me into many opportunities such as traveling and performing in the Caribbean on a cruise ship. I owe many thanks to her for being apart of my foundation as an artist mentally, physically and spiritually. I have grown from her guidance. Her recommendation is beyond words and her students, such as myself, are living proof that she has the magic touch!”  -Azule
