Meet the Business Owner: Monique V.
Dancing since 1984, Monique Vieta grew up in South Florida strictly dancing classical ballet. At a young age, she began receiving elite instruction from Miami's finest instructors, receiving scholarships to major dance companies throughout the United States. Beginning to feel confined within her classical walls, her artistic perspective started to grow and shift as did her love for more modern and contemporary dance works. After moving to New York City to explore her adventurous and artistic nature, she was fortunate enough to learn from several of the most recognized dance companies in the world. Monique has been teaching children and adults for over 22 years but credits her teaching abilities to the very influential teachers before her. She has taught with different dance companies and magnet schools throughout South Florida, as well as in New York and the Carolinas.
