Ballet is where the detail comes from.

Maria trained and performed as a ballet soloist for more than ten years before she moved into Colombian folklore and Latin ballroom. Posture, balance and attention to detail all start there, and they show up in her contemporary, jazz and commercial work.

On a booking, ballet means clean lines and reliable technique under pressure. In training, it means a foundation her students can build every other style on.
