Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, and later moving to Orlando, Florida, Brianna discovered dance as both a passion and a way of life. Trained at Xplosive Dance Academy under Jessica Perez, Brianna studied Jazz, Ballet, Contemporary, Acro, Hip Hop, Ballroom, and Musical Theater, later developing a deep connection to Gaga movement and Jazz Funk.

Brianna continued training at the CLI Conservatory, learning from industry leaders such as Teddy Forance, Martha Nichols, Blake McGrath, and Miguel Zarate. While performing fueled [his/her/their] artistry, teaching became just as meaningful. Inspired by dancers like Jakevis Thomson and Pauline Casino, as well as icons like Britney Spears, Ciara, and Janet Jackson, Brianna approaches Jazz Funk not just as a style, but as an attitude and form of empowerment.

As an educator, Brianna is dedicated to guiding dancers beyond technique, helping them connect with music, embrace individuality, and step into their artistry with confidence.
