​
I am a Dominican American dance artist who choreographs. I have performed and toured with Brian Brooks, Peter Kyle, iKapa, and Stefanie Batten Bland, among others. I received my MFA in Digital and Interdisciplinary Art Practice from City College of New York. My professional affiliations include being artistic advisor for Judson Memorial Church Arts, writer for the Gibney Journal, curator for STUFFED Arts and associate special programs curator for the Museum of Modern Art in the Judson Dance Theater: The Work is Never Done exhibition. I believe in challenging presentational spaces and creating large scale dance performances that engender a sense of impermanence and belonging; the spiritual and the corporeal. In the last three years I have received Ballet Hispanico’s Instituto Coreografico residency, and Alvin Ailey’s New Directions Choreography Lab residency.  Other awards and projects include, a Faculty Student Research Grant from The University of Maryland, a City Corps Artist Grant, and 5 Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Creative Engagement grants. I have received an UpStream Residency from Kaatsbaan International Dance Center and created a new work through a Dance Initiative Residency at The LaunchPad in CO. Additionally I received a Dance Spoleto Residency Award from La MaMAaTheater to present a new work in Spoleto, Italy.  As of fall 2023, I am Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina- Greensboro, where I teach contemporary forms, ballet, choreography/composition, and dance as a digital practice. In the past I have danced with Brian Brooks, Stefanie Batten Bland, Peter Kyle and Helen Simoneau. I often work with my friend Madeline Hollander and David Norsworthy. I am invested in creating and presenting collaborative dance productions.
