"I am a dancer, acrobat and aerialist. I did my dance education in Mexico City in the National dance school of ballet and contemporary dance as a contemporary dancer.
Since I was 13 years old I started with floor acrobatics and later I started to train aerials. I’ve had more experience working as a dancer in some of the biggest musicals in Mexico and outside, I was part of Disney’s The Lion King around the world ( uk, Switzerland, Mexico, Nederland en Hong Kong.
At the moment I am part of Disney’s Aladdin in Nederland. I work as well as a free lancer aerialist performing in different events and disciplines like tissue, aerial hoop and vertical dance. I’ve done pole dance as well.

Pole Dance ist meine Leidenschaft und mein Leben. Diese Leidenschaft gebe ich vor allem als Trainerin in meinem Pole Studio „aria arte“ in Halle an der Saale an andere weiter und auch im „Pole Art Magazine“ welches ich gemeinsam mit meinem Mann Marco herausbringe. Als Tänzerin liebe ich an der Pole alles was mit Flips & Tumbles zu tun hat sowie Heels :)
