Angel

Angel has been dancing her entire life. Her formal training started at 3 years old. She began with ballet and later added jazz and contemporary. Latin Dance became a main focus, she loved the movement and wanted to bring the joy she felt to others. She has been teaching Latin dance since 2003. She teaches dance classes for adults including but not limited to, Salsa, Casino Rueda, and Bachata. She also teaches Latin Rhythms classes, a program she created that consists of Latin infused children and youth dance classes. She has an extensive dance background and has trained under some of best dancers over the years. Her other passion is Choreography. She has directed and co-directed several dance teams, projects and community events. She has years of experience with special occasion choreography as well. She also loves working with youth. She has taught at several schools and given youth opportunities to dance they would not have otherwise had. She often volunteers her time and studio to help other organizations and groups.

Aletha

Aletha recently relocated to Florida. While we are sad to lose her we are very happy for this opportunity she has. We plan to offer pop classes whenever she is in town. Aletha has been dancing for over 20 years. She began at the age of 9 training in ballet, jazz, tap and modern. As an adult she found a new passion in dance; salsa. She has been honing her new love for the last 10 years and has competed in the World Salsa Open and the World Salsa Summit. Her philosophy is "anyone can dance, you just need to find your style!" We are so glad she has brought her talent to our studio.
