My guest today is Shantel Ureña. Shantel is one of the first dancers I photographed and has experienced incredible growth during her 10 years in Los Angeles. As a dance artist, she’s choreographed her own stage pieces, created films, taught classes, and competed in the battle scene, all while expanding the range and foundation of her expre ssive movement.
We talked about her upbringing in Tampa - Shantel is yet another Florida dancer who brought her dopeness to the Left Coast - about her growing career, and about building a more inclusive scene for younger generations. At the end she made it inclusive for older generations as well by teaching me how to dance merengue. I really enjoyed our conversation and I think you will too, so let’s get into The Real Future with Shantel Ureña.
