History
You must know my history? Fine. I was born in America. I'm very mixed. A part Indian, a part Filipino, and a part Puerto Rican. I've been dancing ever since I was 6 years old. I loved it from the beginning. I started with ballet. I went into competition dance when I was 10. I learned a lot more dance styles and learned a lot more about dance. I quit competition dance at age 15 and went on to learn more about ballet, as well as teach dance with my dance teacher to a young group. I went to New York University and majored in dance. I graduated and stayed in New York, sadly away from my family who lived in California. I recently moved back to my hometown and now I'm working here. Now you know more about me. Happy?

Personality
I am nice, encouraging, and a fun teacher but I am also strict. I do not deal with foolishness. Keep up if I ask you to join the advanced class.

Relationships With Other Students
I hope the students like me. If not, oh well.
