In this episode we talk to Alien Ramirez, a 24 time world latin dance champion from Bayamo, Cuba. She comes from a family of musicians, composers, and self-proclaimed “dreamers”. She started taking lessons in ballet, singing, gymnastics, flamenco and cuban folk dance at 4 years old.

In her early twenties, she moved to LA and worked with renowned dancers like Alex Da Silva and Grizzly Hidriago and has choreographed for tv shows like so you think you can dance. Unfortunately, this partnership ended after Alex was convicted of a sex crime and Alien found herself lacking the same recognition on her own. After this, she made the decision to develop a career as a solo dancer so she wouldn’t find herself as dependent on another partner in the future.

She has danced and taught all over the world but above her many accolades and achievements, she really values time with daughter and family.
