We wanted to send best wishes to our DREAM girl Erica Arnold, and her entire beautiful family. Her adorable baby girl was born on April 14, 2021. Her name is Zlata Okunev. She weighs 6 pounds, 7 ounces and is 19 inches long. Both mother and daughter are doing well.
We thought you might also enjoy these photos taken on March 14, 2021, of Erica and Artemi's Baby Shower.
Erica Arnold is the owner of EA Dance along with her husband Artemi Okunev. They have an adorable little boy named Radion, who I am sure will be a ballroom dancer too, someday. He was just waiting for his sister to show up, so now he has a partner, his sister Zlata!
