✨Meet Dakhóta Romero✨ Dakhóta was born in Santa Monica, California on the Summer Solstice of 1987…
Following in the footsteps of her grandmother and great-grandmother, both professional dancers, Dakhóta began studying ballet at the tender age of 4. She distinctly remembers the moment her passion for Afro-Caribbean dance emerged, when her grandmother taught her Chachachá.
In 2007, while earning her degree in Music at Loyola Marymount University, Dakhóta was introduced to Bachata and completely fell in love. She has been passionately studying the dance and music ever since.
In 2017, along with dance partner , she founded , an Afro-Caribbean Dance company specializing in history, music, and culture.
Together, Edwin and Dakhóta have worked at dance festivals across 5 continents and 13 countries, teaching many world class international artists along the way, and have been featured educators at teacher trainings, which have professionally developed dance instructors around the world.
Dakhóta’s dance credits include Insider, Telemundo, News Stations in the US, Canada and Dominican Republic, Bachata Academy (DR), Lincoln Center (NYC), Museum of New York, and Guinness World Records.
As an Indigenous person, her passion for culture, history, and recognition translates into her creative work and love for Dominican arts.
