We had the good fortune of connecting with April Wren and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi April, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
I am from Dallas Texas. My background is in cheer and dance . I went to Skyline High school . I got pregnant at 16 going on 17 . I was out of control , always fighting and in trouble. I started Elegant Princess Diamonds because I wanted to be a mentor for our young ladies . It’s more than just dance to me . We are a sisterhood , O have coached so many girls within the last 6 years , and I’m grateful to have been apart of their life in some aspect . I make sure that I keep these girls busy by traveling around the world and seeing new things .

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Elegant Princess Diamonds started July 17,2017. It was so hard at first transitioning from a 9-5 to starting my own business . It definitely put a financial strain on my family but I didn’t give up . What set us apart from other dance teams is that we are a social media frenzy . We have over 108k followers and we have so many fans . I’ve been marketing since the beginning . To see the growth is amazing . I’ve learned that once you start there is no stopping. We are now one of the top teams in Dallas Texas . We use to loose every competition, now we are on a winning road to greatness . I want everyone to know that EPD has cane along way and we have more to come do stay tuned .

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My favorite spot is the uptown area in Downtown Dallas. There are so many restaurants and also things to do in that specific area.

I want to shoutout my mother and grandmother. They have been with me every step of the way . I left Bank of America after 9 plus years of working there and decided to start my own dance company . I have also have a daughter named Ariel and she is also the reason I started my own company .
