Sharon was born in Brooklyn NY to a family from Panama, Central America. She started dance training at the tender age of 4 at Harlem Children’s Theatre Company. Sharon trained with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in Ballet, Jazz, Modern and Tap for 12 years. She went on to perform in Caribbean festivals and at Lincoln Center NYC. Sharon found La Luna Dance Studio in 2005 and started learning Belly Dancing. She stumbled into Mike Andino’s Salsa Class in 2006 and never looked back. Salsa became her passion and she trained, traveled and performed domestically and internationally under Noel Rodriguez for 3 years. And last but not least, Sharon adores Mambo style Salsa. Sharon is currently a Surgical Nurse and have wanted to share my passion for dance for many years. Her past Salsa instructors include Michael Andino, Noel & Jessica Rodriguez, Amber Rawls, Jose Maldonado, Eli Torres, Raul Tiago Santiago, Jayson Molina, and Darlin Garcia. She also took numerous workshops with Frankie Martinez, Melanie Castillo, Magna Gopal, Ana Tinajero, Burju Perez, Ahtoy Juliana, Maykel Fonts, and many more. Sharon‘s latest venture is training with Sonya Elmore, the owner of La Luna Dance Studio, on the art of TEACHING dance. We are excited to welcome Sharon to La Luna’s staff!
