Meet Felipa
Felipa’s dance journey started at the age of 2 with ballet and jazz. In high school, she enjoyed dancing on the school dance team, dancing in musicals, and even performed as the Featured Baton Twirler at football games. She began Ballroom dancing when she started at the University of Texas at Austin and joined Texas Ballroom in 2016. Since then, Felipa is accomplished in many dance styles, from Ballroom to Country, Social Dancing to Swing, and even line dance. She currently competes in country dancing at the professional level, and dances at the advanced level for West Coast Swing dance competitions.
The most important dance advice she received helped her learn how to roll with the punches and enjoy the journey. The late Angel Figueroa once said, “The partner you draw is the one you want, the song you get is your favorite song, and if you miss a break, don’t worry, another one is coming.”
Outside of dancing, Felipa loves to listen to music, read and write, garden, and spend time outdoors.
