Gloria Lanuza, artist, speaker, producer, teacher and choreographer, has trained and performed with her extended family of accomplished artists since childhood. At age 5, Gloria began her formal dance training at the San Diego Ballet and Academia Flamenca in San Diego. Gloria graduated from the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts where she focused on Ballet, Modern, Jazz, Choreography, Martial Arts and choral studies. Outside of school and after graduating SDSCPA she trained intensively with many master teachers and performers in several cultural art forms beginning with flamenco and Spanish Classical/Folk Dance, percussion and cante. During her high school years Gloria also studied traditional Argentine Tango and was invited to join the professional company, Tango Alma.

In college at the University of California, Riverside is where Gloria discovered her love of East Indian, Middle Eastern and North African cultures. She became fascinated by the ties these cultures have with flamenco’s dance and music. This new-found appreciation to the roots of flamenco gave Gloria the passion to study East Indian Classical Dance and Classic Belly Dance. After years of studying classical and traditional dance forms, in 2010 she decided to form her own performance arts company focusing on world arts, entertainment and education. Forming this company and educational academy consisting of her talented filled family and other professional performing artists, has been a wonderful opportunity to collaborate and celebrate the arts together.

Throughout the time of Gloria’s cultural studies she also enhanced her technique and performance skills in other art styles including Limón, Graham, Horton, Salsa, Samba, Heels, Caribbean, Hip Hop, Burlesque, Cabaret and Jazz/Musical Theatre.
