Her performance credits include NBC’s Today Show, Barclays Center, Madison Square Garden, and Off-Broadway show Breakin’ NYC.
Victoria discovered her deep passion for dance at a young age. Not wanting to limit herself to any one dance style, she dedicated herself to extensive training in ballroom, classical, and street styles. Victoria majored in dance at the prestigious LaGuardia High School. She trained at The Ailey School and Broadway Dance Center and was a member of BDC’s Arts in Motion contemporary performance company, as well as GenXS / GeNex hip-hop crews directed by Kelly Peters.
As a competitive ballroom dancer, Victoria earned numerous titles in regional, national, and international competitions. She won the US national ballroom championships and was invited to represent the US at the world championships in Paris and at the prestigious Blackpool Dance Festival - the world’s largest ballroom dance competition. For many years, she toured the US as a teaching assistant for Lacey Schwimmer’s Ballroom Project dance convention.
As a passionate choreographer, Victoria draws from her multi-style training to create original work that seamlessly blends unrelated dance styles. She was invited to present her fusion choreography at the New Wave Dance Choreographers Festival 2025 at the Alvin Ailey Theater and numerous other venues throughout New York City. Victoria brings her innovative approach to fusion choreography to her teaching as well. She is currently on faculty at other studios as a Latin Fusion and hip-hop instructor and is regularly invited to guest teach at studios across the United States.
Victoria’s recent performances include NBC’s Today Show for the 40th anniversary of the movie Footloose, a halftime show at Barclays Center, and French rapper GIMS’s concert at Madison Square Garden. She was cast in the 2025 Off-Broadway production Breakin’ NYC, dedicated to the history of hip-hop culture. Outside the studio and stage, Victoria is also a social media creator with over 200K followers across her social media platforms.

Class Descriptions
Victoria’s DWTS-inspired open-level class blends five International Latin dances (cha-cha, samba, rumba, paso doble, and jive) with street and classical styles. Students will learn foundational techniques, roots and rhythms of the day’s Latin style, with a focus on developing clean mechanics and intentional movement while exploring creativity through prompts and storytelling.
The class begins with technique breakdown and drills, both in the center and across the floor. It culminates in a unique fusion choreography, performed multiple times with different assigned prompts to reinforce concepts such as eye contact, confidence, dynamics, speed changes, textures, musicality, floor craft, and improvisation. Victoria’s mission is to ensure students leave feeling fulfilled and inspired by new Latin movement that echoes the performance style seen on Dancing With the Stars.
