Giselle Mejia

Giselle Mejia began learning traditional dances of Latin America and the Caribbean at La Semana culture camp of Minnesota. Her father taught her the social dances of Latin America in the nightclubs of Ecuador. She continued her dance training at Larkin Dance Studio engaged in ballet, tap, jazz, character, and hip-hop styles. She earned her BFA from SUNY Purchase College in New York with a continued concentration on classical ballet and modern dance techniques. She has been privileged to travel to Spain, South America, China and Russia to perform at Principal Theaters and study with National Dance Companies. She believes that one must teach in order to truly understand how to learn and eventually master the artistic endeavor of dance.
