MY STORY

Jahaira was born to Dominican parents in Washington Heights, New York. Bachata, Bolero, Merengue, and Salsa are a huge part of her social makeup. These genres were a constant musical element in her youth. In 2000, she moved to San Francisco, CA to pursuit graduate studies in Psychology and Public Health. Always looking for ways to connect to her Dominican culture, in 2013 Jahaira joined the prominent and highly regarded Inessence Dance Company. Jahaira learned how to dance Bachata in the Leader position. Soon after she began to perform at local events, festivals, and international competitions. Jahaira made history in 2015, when she became the first amateur female leader world champion. She then returned to competition in 2018 and won first place in the Same Gender, Bachata Couple Pro Cabaret.
