I started my career in dance in 1996 as a dancer for Culture Shock San Diego. My only formal training was staging and choreography at Mesa Community College with Angie Bunch. She promoted me to Artistic Director for CSSD in 2000. That same year, my teammate and best friend passed away from cancer. This gave me the drive to pursue dance seriously. I had an agent briefly but failed to become a professional industry dancer. Eventually I became known for my thematic dance medleys with CSSD. Later, I produced and became the CEO of the event Bustagroove aka Body Rock Dance Competition. I also produced Body Rock Junior, several talent shows, a dance play, and a dating game! I no longer perform due to age/physical injuries but remain active behind the scenes. Before COVID, I judged events regularly and remained a mentor for over 25 years. I recently completed my Masters in Family Therapy. So I also love talking with people and host my own Youtube Channel and Podcast called Boba Talk. Since COVID, I have been offering talks on present issues in our dance community. I’ve also been hosting learning and healing circles as a Creative / Mental Health Coach. #OfLikeMindsPodcast #Dance #Educator Intro.: 0:00 Upbringing and where you grew up?: 0:31 Learning dance not in a studio setting.: 4:37 Elementary/Middle/High School comparison.: 7:52 Being thrust into leadership.: 10:30 What if you didn't go to Zamorano?: 11:56 Experience in middle school.: 13:20 How did you keep up with dance transitioning from middle to high school?: 17:00 When did you learn dance in the studio?: 18:00 What kept you dancing through all the doubt?: 19:12 What was the first studio you were involved with?: 20:44 Your first class with Angie Bunch?
