Ellie Arnold is an eighteen-year-old singer, songwriter, artist, dancer, choreographer, and in her own words: 

“Just a creative being all around”.

Recently the International Dance Organization (IDO) ranked her 9th in the world.

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana ,her dancing career began at just eighteen months old!

Her parents are both dancers and have traveled the world dancing professionally. They opened their dance studio, “Elite Dance,” in 1999, and since then, they have grown to become known for their incredible, show stopping production qualities, along with their well-trained competition team. 

Ellie has been a part of this intense competition team since the age of three, traveling all over the country winning various awards and as she got older, even world titles. She has toured with conventions such as LA Dance Magic, which had then prepared her for the intense training for Team USA.

In November of 2023, Ellie traveled to Belgium to represent America at the World Dance Championships hosted by the International Dance Organization (IDO). With her solo, “Mein Herr,” choreographed by, Scott Fowler, she earned the title as one of the best top ten dancers in the world. 

Ranking 9th in the world was something that she’ll never forget or take for granted, for it truly boosted her career in a way that she would’ve never imagined.

While training so intensely, she also takes part in choreographing many routines for her competition team. Ellie’s choreography has been awarded all around the country leading her to be known as a “Choreography Maniac.” 

She loves training young kids that aspire to be in her shoes because it keeps her motivated and inspired. She feels that human beings are never done learning, and training these kids, to choreographing for them, has shaped her into the intense and hands-on teacher that she is now known for today. 

Her goal is to have kids take her class, jump around and forget about all of their problems, to then leave with a fire in their heart that makes them want to turn back around and go for another hour.

Her off hours aside from dance are spent creating anything and everything, whether it be painting guitars, writing music, or painting a pop art piece of Elvis Presley, she’s always doing something to better herself. 

Her dad always told her, “No time is wasted,” so she has lived by that for as long as she can remember. 

She has been working on her first album and is looking forward to releasing a few singles by the end of 2024. 

She plays guitar, piano, and ukulele and is hoping to learn many more instruments so that one day she can walk into a recording studio and do everything herself.

Ellie Arnold is many things to the people that surround her. 

Her dream of becoming not just a singer, but a full-on performer is beginning to come true with the support and love from not only her family, but her dance family as well. 

Her idols have always been the bright balls of energy who you can’t seem to forget such as Freddie Mercury, Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson (etc.) 

She believes that with the right people, hard work ethic, and a relentless drive, anyone is truly capable of the impossible. 

When performing she dreams of making people feel alive at her shows to help them forget about any struggles that they have, even if it’s only for an hour or two. 

She believes that the power of music is the closest thing to magic that helps people in one of the most indescribable ways possible. 

Ellie has certainly wasted no time -and her motivation and hard work is most certainly, making her art her reality, as she attains new heights of success!
