Tell us a bit about yourself: the true Diva.
When I was 15 I moved to Canada from South Texas by myself to live a better life. Mostly anything I’ve ever done I’ve done it on my own. Getting myself into schools, auditions, studios, classes, transportation, photo shoots, jobs, etc. I grew up in a really small town, and I had a small town mind. Since I’ve moved I see there is a whole entire world out of opportunity. Best believe I’m going to go out there and get it!

How did you get into teaching dance/fitness?  Tell us about your experiences in the industry.
I always loved to dance as a kid, but was never a “studio child”. The small town I grew up in didn’t have studios, so I resulted to cheerleading. When I moved to Canada I put myself in a studio right away. After about 6 months of taking class I was assisting the younger classes. I also transferred to an arts school, took dance obviously, and got the opportunity to choreograph/teach my classmates. After that, I guess word got around and I started c0-choreographing studio competition numbers. I’ve been in love with teaching ever since! Industry wise I’ve choreographed for events such as “Dancing with the Docs” (fundraiser for the Closer campaign), some talent shows/musicals, and was a co-choreographer of a fashion show for the clothing company Hurley. I’ve danced in a few music videos this year, stage events, and of course Nuvo-Burlesque shows!  I’m looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the industry in 2012.

Why did you decide join DivaGirl?
I love teaching dance/dance fitness. I love performing. I love having a team of amazing people surrounding me with positivity. Working with DivaGirl I enjoy all of these things + more!

Tell us a bit about the classes/workshops that you offer to the DivaGirl Community.
As of right now I am starting WAACK yourself into shape! Waacking is a fresh dance style very hip to the dance scene. It’s also great arm, ab, cardio- pumping workout! Gunna be FRESH!

Why should women attend your DivaGirl classes/workshops?
I give more to my students than just a class! I believe in nourishing the soul, body, and mind through dance. Everyone needs an outlet once in awhile, and when you attend my class I can guarantee you won’t be thinking about your to-do list. You will just be having fun & WERKING!

What constitutes you as a Diva?
I’m pretty much a female version of a hustler. No, but really as I said before.. if I want something I will work as hard as possible until I get it.

 What are your top three tips to help women get fit, have fun and feel sexy?
1. Eat WELL! It’s totally cool to treat yourself, but you are what you eat!  What you fuel your body with affects your mood, skin, and health.
2. Keep your friends close! Don’t let your Diva hustle get in the way of catching up with your girls.
3. Make sure your exercise excites you! If you don’t enjoy running – don’t run. There are so many ways to stay fit. Exercise often & enjoy doing it!

Are there any upcoming workshops/events/projects that you are working on, that you would like to share to the DivaGirl community?
Vanessa Young, the Booking Agent of DivaGirl Entertainment, and I are working on a HYPE ART project called ‘Those Girls.”  It may or may not have you asking this question.
