More on Julissa here :)
Julissa has been training, teaching, coaching, and performing dance for over 20 years. As a child, she would spend hours dancing to videos in front of the television until her Mother enrolled her in dance classes at the age of 9. She would go on to train in jazz, ballet, tap, hip hop, and the Latin dance arts. At the age of 15, she began to combine her passion for dance with a newfound love of teaching at Leggz Dance Academy, first as an assistant teacher and later developing her own youth Hip Hop Program there. Also, Julissa also served as director of the Salsa Heat Professional dance company, directing them for 4 years before venturing out on her own as a solo artist. Julissa has competed as a Professional Salsa soloist at the World Salsa Summit placing 4th, as well as with her same-gender professional partner Melanie Castillo placing 3rd. She is passionate about the creation and development of dancers, as well as creating enthusiasts of art and culture. Julissa continues to be inspired by the integrity of the movement and hopes to share this with others for years to come.
