About Me

Essence Dance Company - Founded in November, 2005 by Gigi Torres after a troubling period in her life. These moments bonded her closer to good friends and good times. They decided to go forth with the group (GO FORF WID IT), and share a piece of themselves and their lives with others--telling their stories through the stage. Women of different backgrounds. Women of different personalities. ALL have the same love and passion for living life to the absolute fullest. Essence--a group of women who each posess inward and outward qualities that regard them as powerful and strong. Individually, they can stand on their own. When brought together, they're whole and stand firm in the struggles they face on the daily--through laughs, love, and dance.We are who we are and give the world a different perspective on life. JUST BE...and LIVE.L A D I E S Kayce Aea Audrey Benson Monique "Moe" Borromeo Candace Brown Kasil Egger Jazz Grant Knicole Haggins Adele Joven Cheryl Koo Janet Langer Amy Lee Clarizcel Perez Anna Rivera April Rodriguez Teresa Sciarretta Jennifer Tang Gigi TorresThank you to all our ladies in this past year how have contributed to this group: Judy Cisneros, Harmony Costa, Donyelle Jones, Lizzy Richardson, Shannon Abero, Larissa Fucillo, Dana Fukagawa, Natalie Gilmore, Christine Kim, Chanel Malvar, Tricia Miranda, and Mihee Paik.[LOVEMYFLASH]
