A professional dancer with academic training since the age of 15 (ballet), at 19 I entered the teaching program because I wanted to strengthen my skills. At 24 I continued my studies in Dance Performance in Santiago, Chile, which has allowed me to make dance my profession. I have been the director of competition teams in salsa and bachata, obtaining excellent results at a competitive level. At the same time, I have taught group classes for more than 5 consecutive years. I also compete as a soloist in salsa and bachata, where I have obtained podiums in Chile. Today, I am living in Peru, in continuous improvement, being part of the JP Dance Company and Fred Astaire Dance Studios.
