Dance Experience: I have been involved with many highly competitive dance studios, as well as the Junior Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders, Miami Elite All-Stars, and the South Florida Superstars (a local baton twirling team). Throughout the years, I have been fortunate enough to travel around the United States (including Hawaii) competing in national competitions and participating in dance intensives at places such as the "Broadway Dance Center" in New York and "The Edge" and "Millennium" in California. In addition, I have trained with some of the most well-known dancers/teachers in the industry, such as Frank Hatchett, Wade Robson, Dan Karaty, Doug Coudwell, Mia Michaels, Joe Tremaine, The Rockettes, and Brian Friedman. My performance experience consists of dancing in many Miami Dolphins' pre-game and halftime shows, performing in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Ireland, and dancing/twirling aboard many different cruise ships. I have also been fortunate enough to perform alongside Stevie Wonder, Gloria Estefan, Lil' Bow Wow, and Jagged Edge in various Orange Bowl and Super Bowl halftime shows.
