Valerie Holguin
My name is Valerie Holguin I've been dancing for most of my life! I started off with dancing Folklorico when I was 7 years old up until I was about 13. In high school I auditioned for my schools dance company, I danced there for two years and was a director for both years. There I opened my horizons to many different styles of dance ranging from Hip-Hop, Jazz, Modern, and lyrical styles.
Dance as a whole has taught me many different lessons and has helped me meet many different people who otherwise I would've never crossed paths with.

Alexis Hawkins
Hi everyone! I'm Ms. Alexis, and I have been dancing for a total of seventeen years. I began my journey with ballet and have since trained in contemporary, lyrical, hip-hop, and jazz. I also performed in my home studio's production of The Nutcracker on five separate occasions. For the past five years, I have worked at a dance studio as both an instructor and a receptionist. Dance has always been my outlet for self-expression and artistry, and my goal is to give children that same opportunity!
