Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, I always make sure they are here because they WANT to be here. I want their drive, ambition and passion for dance to shine and develop more as I show them inspiring videos, and specifically ask them why they want to learn how to dance. After getting to know the student we proceed to the basics of dance so that they can have a firm foundation from the start do that they can take that confidence to the studio and performances!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My dancing journey began at the age of 3 in El Paso TX and havnt stopped since then! I've performed with companies such as Ballet Austin Co. and the Russian Nutcracker and have had main performing roles at the University of Texas at El Paso where I worked on my dance degree and trained with the Professors Lisa Smith and Myron Nadel. Teaching has been my passion for years and have had the privilege of working with various dance studios in El Paso and Houston TX which is where I am today.

My classes are open for beginners, intermediate, and advanced dancers focused on Ballet Training. All my private Ballet trainings are $45 a class 1-2x a week.
How did you get started teaching?
I started volunteering at my home studio at the age of 12 and helping out the instructor and I absolutely fell in love with having that bond with the students and giving them corrections so that they can grow in their technique at a very young age. At the age of 17 I started my actual teaching job at the YMCA and having my students give small performances as well.
