Arena Dance Pros…..Encouraging to make dreams reality! To give dancers an opportunity to receive proper tips, guidance and coaching on what it  takes to gain the confidence and skills to audition for a sports pro dance and/or cheerleading team.

Adrienne started dancing at the age of three and continued her formal dance training with the Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet and Koresh Dance Center located in Philadelphia.  As a result, her extensive technical dance training has given her many opportunities.  She has had the pleasure of dancing in many live shows and videos with some of the most talented artists and groups in the music business.  Some of these artists include Will Smith, Pink, Destiny’s Child, City High, Rob Base, Ludacris, Q-Tip and Chubby Checker.  Adding to the list of professional credits, many dance companies and shows such as MTV Global Grove, MTV Rock N Jock, NBA Inside Stuff, KTU N.Y.C Jingle Ball, NBA Mexico City, and ESPN (Pro Dance), have reaped the benefits of her dance professionalism.  While working with ESPN, Adrienne was given the opportunity to work and perform with Brittany Spears’ and So You Think You Can Dance choreographer, Brian Friedman.  Adrienne’s dance career led her to appear in print work modeling and in various commercials and magazines with Southwest Airlines, Polo, Curtain Call Costumes, Dance Spirit Magazine, Philadelphia Magazine, and Philadelphia’s Health and Fitness Magazine.  After recently ending her twelfth season as the captain and coach of the Philadelphia 76ers Dancers, Adrienne continues to teach dance team style as co founder of “Arena Dance Pros” and “Arena Dance Pros Kids”.  You can see some of Adrienne's choreography in the movie Standing Ovation.
