Bio

I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and I started my dance story from an early age with Flamenco and modern jazz, later focusing on hip-hop, jazz and salsa.
My longest and dearest love affair has been Bellydance, which I have been studying and practicing for 17 years.

Then I discovered Fusion Bellydance and set out to train with my most admired teachers:
Jill Parker, Katarina Burda, Donna Mejía, Mardi Love, Sharon Kihara, Kami Liddle, Samantha Emmanuel, Abigail Keyes, Lila Zellet Elías, Terry Walden, Heather Stands and Rose Harden, who have inspired my growth and evolution.

I’ve also trained intensively with Zoe Jakes, Suhaila Salimpour and Carolena Nericcio directly at their studios in San Francisco, CA. I have decided to complement my education with Classical Ballet, Japanese Butoh, Contemporary dance, Hip Hop, Flamenco and salsa, styles I practice and study as frequently as possible.

I discovered Improvisational Tribal Style in 2004 in a VHS tape that was brought to me as a gift from California and fell instantly in love with it! In 2009 I officially started to teach Improvisation and Tribal Fusion Bellydance in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico. Being the first to offer classes in both styles.

I traveled to San Francisco to get FCBD® General Skills Certified in 2010 and decided to take the time to get the whole format into my muscle memory and experience teaching it, before I took the step to become a FatChanceBellydance® Certified Studio in 2015. Ever since I started the FCBD® certification path, I set a clear objective for myself to promote and teach this beautiful art form as it is. I have had the honor to contribute in many dancers’ paths, all throughout Mexico, and share my work and vision in other countries, such as Costa Rica and currently in Spain.

I have recently graduated from the FCBD® Technique for Teachers certification, which has fit in with my objectives perfectly.

I also have the honor of currently working at FatChanceBellyDance® University as the Director’s Assistant and Social Media Manager.
