elizabeth m. becerra

Elizabeth's passion for dancing began in March of 2001, where she began taking classes at the Atrium Dance Studio. After taking just a few classes, she was instantly captivated by the rhythm and movement of the dance.

After taking classes for a few years, Elizabeth joined an amateur dance team where she began her first experiences as a dancer. She performed locally and traveled to salsa congresses to take classes with international instructors.

After a two-year break, Elizabeth soon returned to train with Darlin Garcia. She joined his Advanced Student Performance Team and performed in several venues. After extensive training and classes with Darlin and other members of Art in Motion, Elizabeth soon joined the team in January of 2007.

In October of 2007 Elizabeth began teaching at Estilo Dance Studio. She teaches Beginner Salsa, and serves as an alternate for the Ladies Styling class. A performer and instructor, Elizabeth has extended her artistic talents to help teach as well as choreograph a routine for the intermediate student performance class alongside Uriel Garcia.
