I value authenticity, connection, and knowledge as an Afro-Latin inspired dancer and creator. I believe it is my responsibility to inspire others to be unapologetically themselves, through the use of movement and community engagement. My personal movement practices are focused on mainly Hip Hop and Salsa vocabulary but are still a reflection of my own personal experiences. I strive to give a voice to those who are invisible to society but remain accurate if it is not a group I am closely associated with. Similar to my dancing practices, I strive to let the audience see a little bit of their own experiences in my work but also open the door to new concepts based on these same perspectives. I am inspired by the preservation of knowledge, both personal and cultural, through the use of movement and how it can adapt based on how it is experienced. I would also like to point out one of my interests comes from anthropological perspectives, especially from the lens of dance. Many of my creative projects are based around the study of different subcultures from an anthropological perspective. I will continue to gain knowledge and evolve like the cultures I study, while maintaining sight of my purpose of preserving the embodied knowledge we all carry through our social interactions.
