Andrea began dancing at the age of 5, performing in recitals and community performances throughout her childhood. Being so involved in dance from a young age is what sparked her love and passion for the art.

As a dancer, Andrea competed in numerous routines under the direction of Jessica Jafari, gaining valuable experience both on and off the stage. She began her teaching journey at 19 and has been teaching for the past 7 years. Throughout her teaching career, she has had the opportunity to teach at various competitive and recreational dance studios throughout Orange County. She loves being a part of her students’ dance journeys and watching them grow both as dancers and individuals.

Andrea currently teaches Contemporary, Tricks & Turns, Jazz, and Ballet at Dance 4:13. She also choreographs competition routines and has created award-winning pieces. Her choreography has been recognized at competitions with special choreography and judges awards; and she continues to bring her passion and creativity into every class and routine she teaches.
