There’s something magically and mysteriously moving about music. Based on stories I’ve heard, pictures I’ve seen and memories I’ve experienced, it seems I’ve felt this way since a very young age.
As a young child, I remember waking up on Sunday mornings to folkloric Colombian music while my dad made arepas. Music was a way to stay connected to our culture and a means by which my parents transmitted culture and language to us. Listening to music quickly turned into dancing and a career that has included teaching and choreographing at my local dance studio, Broadway Arts, dancing as a founding member of Grupo Esmeralda – Colombian folkloric dance troupe of South Florida, beginning a dance major at New World School of the Arts, participating and competing on the dance team at Florida Atlantic University and becoming a licensed Zumba and STRONG NATION instructor.
Today, my love and passion for music and dance has propelled me into the fitness industry. As a Group Fitness Instructor, I am happy to share my passion, joy and love of movement and dance to motivate, encourage and support you on your journey.
