  • Teacher's Experience
  • Born in San Francisco, CA, Jeannette has been dancing for over 15 years. She grew up listening to R&B and hip hop, and would watch music videos trying to dance like Michael Jackson, Aaliyah, and Beyonce. It wasn't until her brother dragged her along to salsa classes that dance hit her hard. He took her to her very first LA Salsa Congress in 2003, and it was then that she fell in love with the culture, the music and the dance. At the time, she attended San Diego State University, and found salsa classes at The Arc and Hot Monkey Love. Her passion was ignited, and she danced 7 nights a week and any chance she could get. It was from social dancing that she learned the most - connection, communication, lead and follow, musicality. For formal training, she trained with Angel and Tulane Rivera and danced for Alma Latina Tijuana, then directed by Sergio Jasso and Gaby Equiz and the Salsa Divas, directed by Laura (Mendoza) Loaza. With those teams, she performed in New York, in the Bahamas and all over San Diego.

Waacking

Waacking is one of the fundamental styles of Hip-Hop. The style began in LA gay clubs in the 70's where Black, Latinx, and Asian gay men were able to fully express themselves in a time when they had to hide their gay identities.
