I'm Mexican, though I feel from here and there... I focus on dance choreography. My work has been gaining recognition for pieces like Nova (2021 to present), which received a standing ovation at the National Dance Encounter—Mexico’s most important contemporary dance festival. I’m drawn to creating large-scale visual environments that hold intimate, emotionally charged narratives. My choreographic language often emerges from everyday gestures, exploring the complexities of queer identity, cultural heritage, and embodied memory. By blending authentic stories with fictional worlds, I aim to empower dissident beauty and challenge dominant norms.

I’m a Mexican dance artist and choreographer whose work is grounded in movement, memory, and resistance. My practice often explores queer and racialized corporealities, crafting visually rich, large-scale works that hold intimate storytelling. I’m drawn to staging dissident beauty—empowering gestures that resist dominant narratives and claim space for other ways of being.
I was born in Ensenada in 1992 and have lived in various parts of Mexico, England, and Cuba. That shifting geography has shaped not just my identity, but the way I perceive the body—as archive, as contradiction, as cultural territory.
In 2023, I completed a degree in Choreography from the National School of Classical and Contemporary Dance (Mexico). Along the way, I’ve trained with choreographers like Wim Vandekeybus and David Zambrano, and immersed myself in Cuban contemporary dance technique under Vianki González, founding dancer and director of Codanza. These experiences shaped both my technical craft and my insistence on anchoring creation in personal truth.
As director of LOAIZAcorpóreo, I’ve presented works at major national platforms including the Encuentro Nacional de Danza, the Cineteca Nacional, and Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris. My piece NOVA (2021) received standing ovations at several venues and marked a turning point in my artistic journey. I’ve also worked as guest choreographer for Tandem Cía. de Danza (Declive, 2017), and continue to create pieces that bridge fictional landscapes with lived tensions.
Before all that, I co-founded Danxperimento – Danza Multidisciplinaria, a grassroots project born out of friendship, curiosity, and the urgency to create. It was my first real artistic lab. We worked across disciplines, with little funding but deep conviction and shared dreams. That period taught me everything about community, risk, and the kind of dance I wanted to fight for.
Outside my own projects, I collaborate as a performer in large-scale dance installations such as Lemniskata by Lukas Avendaño, with presentations at De Singel (Antwerp), International Theatre Amsterdam, and Kampnagel (Hamburg). I’ve also toured with El Circo ContemporáNEO danza multidisciplinaria to the Aarhus Festival in Denmark, and performed at Palacio de Bellas Artes with Dramadanza.
I fund my independent work by renting out my creativity to the commercial world. I choreograph and direct movement—mostly through MateriaBP—for campaigns and audiovisual projects for clients like Netflix, PrimeVideo, L’Oréal, Candy Crush, Sears, Miguel Bosé, Kimbra, Beat Saber, Möet, Grupo LaComer, and Palacio de Hierro.
At the core of everything I do, there’s a belief: that dance is a will to live—and sometimes, the only way I can access it is by lighting that spark in others. It’s through the bodies I choreograph that I remember what it means to keep going.
