What are three words that best describe you? 
Energetic, Positive, and Independent.

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.

Nonetheless, recent studies prove that moderate physical exercise can be incredibly beneficial for breast cancer survivors.

When it comes to choosing a safe and effective exercise program for survivors, Pilates covers all the bases. The exercise method has its roots in physical therapy and was created by Joseph Pilates during the 1920s to rehabilitate bedridden soldiers from WW1. The principles of Pilates were, and still remain, focused on breathing, core strength, shoulder and pelvic stability.

Pilates both during and after treatment can help to alleviate pain and restore energy, joint mobility, tissue integrity and overall strength. In particular for breast cancer survivors, Pilates breath-work can encourage proper lymphatic drainage.

The benefits of Pilates go beyond the physical – many women report feeling emotionally recharged after class.  Movement after invasive surgery is empowering and can help alleviate feelings of depression, getting you back to a feeling of normalcy. It is well documented that exercise releases endorphins or “happy hormones,” which elevate mood.

In sum, here is a list of benefits from participating in a Pilates program during and after breast cancer surgery.

• Improved lymphatic drainage with proper breathing techniques
• restored postural alignment and balance
• improved shoulder girdle mechanics to help breakdown scar tissue and frozen shoulder
• restored overall range of motion, flexibility, strength and endurance
• enhanced core strength and endurance
• improved overall body awareness
• re-established muscular firing patterns
• reduced both physiological and emotional stress
• increased self-confidence and overall well-being

The next PINK METHOD workshop will be on Sunday January 22, 2012 from 2- 3:30 pm.

Location: Trinity St Paul’s United Church
427 Bloor Street West, Toronto ( Bloor and Spadina)
