Vicky Vazquez (she/her/hers) is a Queer Boricua currently residing in Ohlone territory (Oakland, CA) and has been a dancer for over 25 years. Though she was born in Puerto Rico, her journey in latin dance didn’t begin until 2012 with a focus on Salsa, Bachata and Kizomba. She has participated in many events and congresses throughout the years as an attendee, instructor and performer. In 2014 she moved to Mexicali, Mexico and trained under world champion dance company Alma Latina. Prior to moving to California, she directed several teams including Alma Latina Franchise teams as well as her own previous company, Warishe Dance. Her focus as an instructor is to provide dancers of all levels with proper techniques and tools to become the best dancer while discovering individual expression and healing through movement. Her philosophy is simple: Anyone can lead or follow, regardless of gender expression. Drop in classes are open to all who want to learn!
