HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY PAGE. I HAVE DEFINITLY BEEN BUSY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS OF MY LIFE. MOST OF THE CHANGES IN MY LIFE HAVE BEEN POSITIVE AND I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE PERSON IVE GROWN INTO.FOR EVERYONE JUST INTRODUCED INTO MY WORLD, HERES SOME HISTORY. I AM 22 YEARS OLD, PUERTO RICAN,ORIGINALLY FROM CENTRAL ISLIP, NEW YORK AND RELOCATED TO KISSIMMEE FLORIDA. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN INCLINED TO PERFORM. IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL I WAS THE PERSON WHO CONCIEVED THE IDEA OF CREATING THE SCHOOL'S FIRST LATIN DANCE TEAM "FUERZA LATINA" IN WHICH I WAS ONE OF THE CHOREOGRAPHERS AND ASST DIRECTORS. THE CENTRAL ISLIP HIGH SCHOOL SHOW CHOIR WAS MY NEXT MISSION. I HELD THE POSITION OF LEAD CHOREOGRAPHER FOR 4 YEARS AND PERFORMED IN COUNTLESS COMMUNITY AND CORPORATE EVENTS. I CAN NEVER FORGET "EL TEATRO RODANTE HISPANICO" AFTER AUDITIONING, I WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM WITH THE SENIOR DANCE TEAM.THROUGH THE CENTRAL ISLIP HIGH SCHOOL SPANISH CLUB I WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM IN THE "PUERTO RICAN DAY PARADE" ALL FOUR YEARS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND FEATURED ON THE LOCAL TELEVISION SHOW, "VIVAN LOS JOVENES" I THEN WENT ON TO PERFORM AND CHOREOGRAPH FOR MANY OTHER LOCAL PROGRAMS AND COMPANIES INCLUDING BROADWAY ENTERTAINMENT, AND EJ THE DJ. CURRENTLY, I AM THE LEAD CHOREOGRAPHER FOR LATIN RECORDING ARTIST MAIRBEL DIAZ. HER ALBUM IS SET TO BE RELEASED IN THE COMING WEEKS. THROUGH MARIBEL I HAVE HAD THE HONOR TO MEET MANY OTHER BIG NAME RECORDING ARTISTS AND PRODUCERS SUCH AS: DOMENIC MARTE, N'KLABE, CHARLIE CRUZ, FRANKIE NEGRON, AND BRENDA K STARR WHOM I WAS ABLE TO SHARE THE STAGE WITH ON 11/4/2006. I AM THE CEO OF SALSA PROJECT PRODUCTIONS, LLC. AND THE THE ASST. DIRECTOR AND LEAD CHOREOGRAPHER FOR THE COQUIDANCERS. SALSAHEAT DANCE STUDIO HAS ALSO GIVEN ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THEM AS AN INSTRUCTOR AND PERFORMER ON THE SEMI-PROFESSIONAL DANCE TEAM.
