Stella started dancing when she was very young. Her passion to dance drove her to train in different forms of dance including Hip-Hop, Jazz Funk, Mambo, Salsa, Ballroom, Latin, Jazz, Modern, Ballet and Tap.

Stella’s Hip-Hop training is diverse, with her strongest influences by Brian Green, Bev Brown, Luam and Sheryl Murakami in the United States. In February 2009, Stella performed two numbers in the StudioDanz Showcase which inspired her to make a journey to the USA to further her dance education.

In March 2009 Stella decided to increase her dance knowledge and spend a year studying dance in Los Angeles and New York. This intensive full time training in New York Broadway Dance Centre and the Millennium Dance Center in Los Angeles in various dance styles including Hip-Hop, Jazz Funk, Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, brought her dancing to a new level.

With Salsa and Mambo, Stella started her New York style training from Alexandre Amoroso, director of DANCETRINITY before visit United States. In California, Stella attended professional instructor level training workshops delivered by Edie Espinosa. In New York City, Stella studied with world renowned instructors Eddie Torres, Frankie Martinez and Nelson Flores.

Stella loves to inspire people, to feel the music and enjoy dancing. With a strong focus on Hip-Hop, Jazz Funk and Salsa and boosted by experience in other dance styles, Stella encourages everyone to dance with their own flavor on top of the foundation and techniques she delivers. “Have fun” and “Feel” are the key elements to enjoy and improving dance. Just like a great meal, she believes that only the right ‘seasonings’ will make the dance ‘delicious’!
