Dance has always been a constant in my life. My earliest memories of dance are from living in Puerto Rico, where during hurricanes the power would go out and everyone on the block would gather in one person’s marquesina (car garage). There would be food, music, and of course, dance. From those early experiences, and continuing through my move to the continental United States where I first arrived unable to speak English, dance became an incredible source of structure in my life. I trained in a range of styles and eventually went on to study at institutions including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Broadway Dance Center in New York City, Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London, as well as Rutgers University where I obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance
Throughout my career, I have been drawn to movement that tells a story. I played the role of “Boo Who” in the Broadway National Tour of Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical, performing at venues including The Fox Theatre in Atlanta and The National Theatre in Washington, D.C. Other credits include being a “Special Ability Dancer” in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, a featured pool goer in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights, ensemble dancer and vocal soloist in the Fulton Theatre’s production of Evita, serving as dance captain for Crossroads Theatre Company’s A Christmas Carol, and performing in BCEFA’s Red Bucket Follies at the New Amsterdam Theatre on Broadway.
