The Aytes Family
The Aytes family—Casey, Danielle, Aaron (not pictured), Raegan, and Allison—are honored and grateful to be selected as Pas De Deux Hawaii’s Family of the Month. Since returning to Hawaii in 2013, the performing arts have played a meaningful role in their family life, with a strong emphasis on encouraging their children to explore activities that build confidence, discipline, and creativity.
While Aaron pursued soccer and track, Raegan and Allison found their passion in dance. Raegan, now a senior at Mililani High School, plans to continue her education in Hawaii, while Allison, a freshman, has fully embraced her dance journey since joining Pas De Deux Hawaii in 2022.
Allison’s growth has been remarkable—expanding from Jazz into Tap, Ballet, Contemporary, and Ballroom, and now participating in Teen Prep with aspirations of joining Company. Her dedication extends beyond herself, as she volunteers mentoring younger dancers, demonstrating leadership and a genuine love for the art.
The Aytes family is especially thankful for Wendy, Jeremy, and the entire PDD staff for their mentorship, encouragement, and commitment to developing not only skilled dancers but confident individuals. They look forward to continuing this journey and supporting Allison as she grows through dance and competition.
