About Me- Ms. V I’m a poet and didn’t know it…  I started dancing at 5 years old. I was fortunate that my high school had a dance program and I was able to be a part of the dance company. I continued my education in dance after high school by majoring in dance, which was one of the best experiences. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in dance from UC Irvine. After graduating from UCI, I moved to New York City to pursue a professional dance career. I was a dancer in Calpulli Mexican Dance Company, where we performed around the U.S. Furthermore, I spent a year living in Mexico learning Spanish and learning Cuban Salsa. I love learning new styles of dance and continue to expand my horizons. I dance modern, jazz, contemporary, ballet, tap, Mexican Folk dance, Cuban salsa and am currently learning Capoeira and acro-yoga. I am also a Pilates instructor and enjoy yoga.
