I have been dancing for the past 20 years. Growing up just south of Chicago my training began in ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, tumbling and contemporary. From there I began competing regionally and nationally from a very young age, receiving national awards and scholarships for group and solo work. After high school, I relocated to Arizona to pursue my dancing degree at Arizona State University. After graduating with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts in Performance & Choreography, I decided to continue my training by trying out ballroom dancing at Fred Astaire Dance Studio. I trained and taught for four years on partnership dancing and competed professionally receiving top accomplishments regionally and nationally. -Tara Nicole --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paco-baltazar/support
