I started my Jazz studies in August 1985 at Cetys University in Mexicali. My first teacher was Manuel Torres, of the UABC Paralelo-32 Contemporary Dance Company. I began to
study Ballet and Tap with Marian Gay Martinez at MGM Dance Academy in 1988. I continued my studies of Ballet, Tap, and Jazz with Dance Caravan, Stars of Tomorrow, the
Professional Dance Teachers Association, and the UABC. I continued to study contemporary dance with Paty Aguilar, Carmen Borjorquez, Victoria Camero, and Jean Isaacs the
current director of the San Diego Dance Theater. I became a Jazz teacher at the UABC in 1990 and a member of the Paralelo-32 Contemporary Dance Company. I then
continued my studies of Hip-Hop with Lennon Pichelo of New York and two additional years of Ballet with Orlando Lopez of the National Cuban Ballet. My recent continued
studies include: Steve Sinico & Angela D'Valda Sirico of stage and television fame, Simone De Paolo of Alvin Ailey School of American Dance, Franco De Vita of the Boston
Ballet & American Ballet Theatre, Louis Kavouras of the Eric Hawkins Dance Company, Raymond Lukens of the American Ballet Theatre, Tim Santos of the Radio City Rockettes,
Jessica Rizzo if "Impulse" and Las Vegas' "Le Reve", Adrian Wiltshire of MTV's TRL and "Stomp the Yard", Jennifer J.V. Goecke of many Broadway musicals including "Cats",
contemporary dancer Alber Cattafi of Las Vegas' "Pimp", Cathy Roe of Cathy Roe Video Productions, and Shelly Masenoir of "Fame the Musical" and Disney's "High School
