Bay Area Roots

New York City Chops

That's the dance life for this Cali gurl!

i dance

From the legendary Mark Morris Dance Group in Brooklyn, Mind Builders in the Bronx, Wilson's Dance in the Bay, to stages all over the US since 2011, I train and perform as much as I can (yes, I even performed online through Covid!).

Choreography and production is my passion, too. There's a whole different kind of magic in creating a story through dance, and TBH, it's even spiritual for me. Yeye, O! (IYKYK!)

Through choreographing pieces by myself and with awesome collaborators or mentors, teaching dance organically slid into the DMs of my life. My ultimate vision is to own a dance studio and production company, to bring the fiyah to the next generation!

i’m rooted

I was born in Cali, but raised and dance-trained on both coasts. Dance, choreography and production runs deep in my veins and family lineage.

From Cuban and Mexican folkloric dancers to family dance parties bumpin' Hip Hop, R&B, Funk, and Reggae, rhythm is in my blood.

Off stage, I'm pretty low-key and chill, but watch out when the music hits! I transform with some major Main Character Energy!

Anything from Hip Hop to Contemporary, Folklorico, and Jazz – you name it, and I’ll own it on the dance floor.

I’m ready to fly

Yoooo! All that said and no cap.. life has definitely given me some hella crazy plot twists!!!

There have been times when it felt like my dreams might get sidelined, but with the support of my incredible family and the undeniable pull of my destiny, I.Keep.Moving.Forward.

I’m a dancer-choreographer-director-producer with fiyah in her feet, a mind full of creative moves, a coast-to-coast dance background, the hustle of a future studio owner, from a family lineage of dance performers and entertainers who stay

spiritually grounded and protected…
