My very own salsa company had its debut performance at Michelle Reye’s social dance on Friday, December 2nd 2011.

I started Amika Dance Company in Chicago 2 years ago. Now that I live and teach in DC, I train a group of wonderful and talented dances in my dance studio in DC.

I am proud to say that their first performance went extremely well and we look forward to a lot more like this one in the coming year.

Here is the video:
