ABOUT US
meet the founder
Hi friends!
my name is selena rose garcia, i am an entreprenEur living out my lifelong dream of sharing my love for dance with others.
I was Born and raised in beautiful Denver, CO. IT BRINGS ME JOY TO CONNECT WITH SO MANY PEOPLE NOT ONLY IN MY LOCAL COMMUNITY BUT ALSO talented and passionate individuals FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
I believe as creators we’re meant to create, CONNECT, collaborate, support and help build with one another up. When you have a village of people in your corner nothing can stop you but more than anything you become truly unstoppable when you believe in yourself, nothing can get in your way.
If you’ve been following along with me the past few years I want to thank you so much for your love and support. it means the world to me to share this journey with you. I’m excited for more growth, more connections, more dances to come!
DANCE BACKGROUND:
I started dancing when i was a little girl around 4 or 5 years old. every family event involved music playing and turning our space into a dance floor. i watched my parents flow perfectly together to every latin rhythm and I fell in love.
from ages 5-9 roughly I took muliple classes mexican folk, jazz, tap, ballet, hip-hop
From ages 9-12 i joined the junior denver broncos cheerleading program
from ages 12-17 (middle school/high school) i joined dance teams, sports, cheerleading, talent shows, etc. around this time is when i fell in love with hip-hop and started to explore freestyle more and more, ABDC was my favorite show, i watched famous dancers on youtube everyday, dance was all i wanted to do
once i graduated high school i made the bold decision to leave home and move to sacramento, california. the first thing on my to do list when i got there was to find a dance home and did in the first 48 hours…
step 1 dance and fitness will forever hold a special place in my heart, i took my first hip-hop master class there, multiple classes every week from hip-hop to heels, joined a dance team. this is where i started assisting classes to learn to teach, taught my first class here (i was a horrible teacher back then lol) after a short year i decided to move back home
once i returned home i knew i wanted to continue teaching, i started hosting weekly classes in 2020 and have been ever since. in 2021 I began training more in latin styles specifically bachata and salsa at BACHATA DENVER.
NOW, I TRAVEL ALL OVER TO CONTINUE TRAINING WITH WELL-KNOWN INSTRUCTORS AND TEACH VARIOUS STYLES OF DANCE.
