Trained in Egypt, in the United States and in Switzerland, Luisa is a passionate and energetic dancer and choreographer, with a unique elegant style. She takes her first steps into what would later become her career in Caracas, Venezuela, her hometown where she quickly discovers her passion and her natural talent for this dance style.
