Nela Menendez

I was born in Argentina, at the age of 8 years old I started dancing traditional Folklore and Ballet, years later, at the age of 15, I discover the passion for Salsa and Bachata. I started training and my instructor took me right away to perform and do events with him. It was an amazing experience that made me keep training and join many other dance groups where I travelled and perform. I was even invited to participate on a local dance Tv show. At the age of 20, I moved to the USA where I’ve trained with the best dancers in the world and finished my career at the university. While studying, I opened a dance club where I taught fun classes and I also worked on some projects teaching choreographies to students to perform at many events the University organized. After I graduated, I opened my own academy in St Paul, MN called Nela Dance where I teach Salsa and Bachata to the community.

Something fun about me:

I’m an energetic person that loves to dance, even while cleaning. I also love to be outside camping, going on rides, playing with my dogs, and enjoy going to the beach.
