Since I started training with Salsamania, I rediscovered my passion for dancing. It has been a challenging and fun journey which has taken me to meet amazing people and given me the opportunity to perform at some of the biggest congresses and competitions across the US. More than anything, I have found a friendly and supportive environment that allows me to keep developing skills useful in other aspects of my life.
