BFA in Dance
Since leaving Rise in 2018, Noelle has continued to pursue her love for dance. In 2022 she graduated from Western Michigan University with a BFA in Dance. While in college, Noelle taught dance at a studio on the west side of Michigan for 3 years. Her passion for performance grew into a passion for leading. She has been back teaching dance in the Chicago suburbs since graduation and is excited for her second full year as an instructor at Rise! Noelle has also taught dance at studios in Orland Park and Downers Grove. When she's not in a dance studio, she's at Pure Barre either taking or leading class. As of August 2025, Noelle has also received her level 1 PBT certification.
“Rise was always home away from home. None of us wanted to leave after a night of dancing; We would always hang behind until whichever teacher was closing up was also leaving. Growing up dancing at Rise taught me so much about myself and helped me find my passion for dance.”
