I create works that reflect vulnerability, discuss socio-political subtexts, involve psychological bridges, and encompass my background as an Afro-Puerto Rican residing in the South Bronx. Like freeform jazz, my practice involves real-time facilitation—guiding the process without imposing, offering space for what else may happen. I resist dictating the movement and instead focus on uncovering possibilities within the moment. The body language of each person, including my own, is my vocabulary. I translate these physical cues to understand and communicate more effectively, allowing for a deeper connection with the work, and the space we inhabit is not empty; it is our partner. I want my art to shift perception without demanding submission. I take great pride in the consideration and practice from my own culture and dance styles that were the foundation for part of my education. The combination of these two forces cause the language of my movement to have distinguishable characteristics. My artistic voice culminates in the background of dancesport ballroom, house, jazz, hip-hop, partnering, and contemporary movement. Relaying the information of my heritage and cultural aesthetics within the space without exploiting the care. I see storytelling as a form of preservation and communication. My heritage is the core of why I dance, rooted in a community where everyone knows each other and where care and support extend beyond words. I find storytelling as a satisfying method of redirecting the flow that mirrors life to answer questions in an accessible way.
