Dance has always been a part of Lilian Arnosky’s life, as she has been dancing since the age of three. She danced competitively at studios in the Houston area and served as Captain of her dance team in high school. She earned her BA in Dance from the University of Houston, where she received the UH Dancer of the Year award and performed pre-professionally for the UH Ensemble and Young Audiences Touring Company. After graduation, she returned to her alma mater to teach dance and direct the Angels Dance Team at Stephen F. Austin High School in Fort Bend ISD. In 2016, she founded and directed the Emerald Elite Dance Team at Lebanon Trail High School in Frisco ISD. Mrs. Arnosky has an intensely competitive spirit and an equally strong passion for dance, and she is proud of the legacy and traditions that are being built with the Weiss Dance Program and Scarlets Dance Team. When Mrs. Arnosky isn't teaching dance, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Justin, and their two dogs, Sasha and Ruby.
