Artist bio:
Hailing from Texas, she grew up immersed in Latin dances and Country Swing until discovering Kizomba, which captivated her immediately. Acquiring proficiency in Kizomba and Tarraxinha in San Antonio, she also started embracing "French Style" prior to the establishment of Urbankiz, as its formal denomination in the United States. Drawing inspiration from dancers like Laurent & Adeline, Chamalo, Kizzy, Michaela, Arnold Bunda, Albir, and her dance partner, Audi, she honed her skills in the dance form.
Revered as one of the foremost practitioners of Kizomba and Urbankiz in North America, she achieved first place ranking in the North American Kizomba Olympiads of 2017 and secured second place in the Paris Kizomba Olympiads that same year, where she competed alongside her partner Audi. Serving as a judge for the North American Kizomba Olympiads of 2018 and the Paris Kizomba Olympiads of 2022, she has also imparted her expertise in various other dance competitions both domestically and internationally.
Presently, she voyages globally on a full-time basis, delivering instruction in Urbankiz, Kizomba fundamentals, and Tarraxo to individuals and partners. Emphasizing the comprehension of biomechanics, musicality, expression, and techniques for leading and following, she fervently imparts her knowledge and passion for the art of dance.
Dançarina Events provides dance training and social dance experiences for BZouk, Urban Kiz and Kizomba, with a focus on training and practice to facilitate the development and growth of technically competent and socially confident dancers. We also care deeply about growing dance community that is welcoming, respectful and inclusive to people of all identities and backgrounds.
