Paola Hinojosa
Latina Tribe / Reggaeton
"Hi, I'm Paola. I moved to Calgary from Mexico in 2017 and I love it here! After being a competitive dancer most of my life and taking a much needed break, I started re-connecting with dance as a way to safely express myself and encourage others to do the same. My passion lies in creating a safe space in the studio where you can feel comfortable and confident to move in a way that feels good for you, all while breaking a sweat and having so much fun. I am a certified Latina Tribe method instructor, and I love to teach some Reggaetón & fusion classes as well."

Maggie Martin

My name is maggie,
I started dancing in high school and had the opportunity to teach not only my friends but the grades below me as well. These last four years have made me fall in love with r&b hip hop dances. Which really brought me out of my shell and showed me how much I love to guide and teach people that share the same passion as me. I’m so excited to share the dance floor with everyone and have lots of fun!
