Ms. Adriana is taking a break from teaching hip hop classes to move back to her hometown in Pittsburgh- but she will stay on as social media coordinator. Don't worry! We'll be seeing more of her! Read an interview with her below. 

How many years dancing?
​15 years.  

What is an achievement in dance that you are proud of or an experience that had a major impact on your specialties?
I’m proud of being the first Bgirl in Hip Hop Fundamentals!

What is your philosophy in hip-hop?
If you’re not having fun, finding joy in community, and learning how to express fully and unapologetically, you’re not doing it right. 

What are your goals for your students?
I want each of my students to learn that their distinct perspective and approach to Hip Hop is their superpower. I hope to empower them to contribute to the culture as their authentic selves. 

What can a child learn from a dance education that will impact the rest of their lives? 
They can learn how to thrive independently as well as how to exist in a community where vulnerability, hard work, and thinking critically & creatively are vital. 
​

What is an interesting non-dance related fact that you can share about yourself?
I am a thrifting queen - it’s all about the bargains baby! Thrifting empowers me to play with different gender expressions and define my own femininity (while saving $ and being sustainable).
Thanks for everything you have done and continue to do for our community! We will miss you!
