About Us

Denise Arenovich

Born in Argentina and raised in Miami, Denise is a proud 42-year-old woman, loving wife, and mother of three beautiful daughters. From the moment her parents brought her to the United States, they made it a priority to find a Jewish community where their family could feel at home—a value that has shaped Denise’s life ever since. Israeli dance has been a meaningful part of her life since the age of four, and today, her heart fills with joy as she watches her daughters dance alongside her. Israel and Jewish traditions have always been deeply woven into Denise’s identity, and her greatest dream is for her daughters to love and cherish those traditions as much as she does. Nothing brings her more happiness than seeing them embrace their heritage, dance to the same rhythms she grew up with, and carry their culture forward with pride.

Romina Naparstek

Born and raised in Buenos Aires, she moved to Miami at 16, later earning a degree in Early Childhood Education from Florida International University and a master’s in Jewish Education from Gratz College. Her time living in Israel and California further deepened her love for Jewish tradition and the State of Israel. Romina is the proud mother of Lucas and Elena, and she works to instill in them the same love for Judaism and Israel she holds dear. She currently serves as the Early Childhood Academy Director at the Michael-Ann Russell JCC. In her free time, Romina writes children’s stories that blend food, Judaism, and Israel, and creates meaningful ways for families to stay connected to their heritage
