About
Mariale discovered her joy for dancing at a very young age. Since then, she knew that dancing made her feel empowered. Dancing became her favorite way of expression and connection with herself and others.
She took Jazz and Flamenco lessons during her childhood. She continues developing her skills in the present by learning and competing in Ballroom.
Her mission is to teach her students to use dance as a powerful tool for life.
Dancing, family, wellness and helping others are her passions. She hopes that with her dance classes you can also feel the joy of dancing in your heart.
