BIO:
Flora has been dancing for her whole life. She grew up doing contemporary, modern, and tap dance at Between the Bones, a student dance theater in Denver. At home, Flora and her mom often enjoyed watching Fred Astaire’s films together. While in high school, Flora discovered West Coast Swing and Lindy Hop. She fell in love with the connection and improvisation of partnered dances and has since traveled across the country to learn more by attending various partner dance events. Currently, they are studying for a B.A. in Dance at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Flora is looking forward to complementing her dance degree by beginning her career at Fred Astaire!
