Q&A
What has been your proudest moment as a dancer? Why?
My brother Isaac and I organized a gala back in my hometown of Guadalajara—sharing the stage with my brother and my friends there was the most amazing feeling.
If I weren't a dancer I'd be...
A concert pianist. Playing Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 is a dream of mine.
I love San Francisco because…
There is a great variety and mix of different cultures, and there’s something for everybody.
