Ferocity is: Family. Fierce. Passion.
Ferocity is a judgement free zone.
People from all walks of life are welcome. |
The Ferocity Dance Company was founded in 2012 and focuses on Bachata Fusion pieces: mixing ballroom as well as other dance styles with Bachata to create a distinct viewpoint and style. The Ferocity Dance Company houses three Ladies teams, a student performance group, a competitive group, and the Professional Company.
The mission statement of the Company is: Fierce Is For Everyone. Most of the students that attend Ferocity are currently performers or striving performers. Students can be seen anywhere from once a week to seven times a week - it depends on how many teams and workshops they attend! We pride ourselves on offering teams that have different bachata styles so that our dancers learn new things, new styles, and new perspective! It is our hope that through constant support for the dance community, friendly behavior on and off the dance floor, and a distinct respect for all dance styles, that we can create a safe environment for all to learn and enjoy dancing. Anyone that wants to be family, can be.Our studio doesn't operate like a traditional dance studio, but it doesn't mean that there's not an opportunity for you to join in on the fun! From training teams to group classes, there's always something you can get involved with if you want to be a part of Ferocity.
Fierce is for Everyone - that means you! |
About Dr. Jacinto Arias Sanchez
My whole life I've loved one man, and that man has been my father. He has been a solid and never-ending example of how to be nothing other than yourself at all times. He wasn't a complicated man, and therefore didn't do anything to overcomplicate life. He was about relationships, memories, laughter and love.
My father, Cesar, is the biggest reason I have found the courage to pursue dance as a life vocation. He was the best cheerleader I could have ever asked for. He showed me an amazing work ethic, and never ending optimism to combat everything in this life. He helped me get the funding together to get my studio, my home away from home that's become a haven for so many of my dancers. On August 14th, 2014 we received the devastating news, that my father had advanced stage kidney cancer that had begun to spread. Despite our best efforts, and all the prayers and hope that this life could give, on Tuesday, December 23rd, 2014, my father lost his battle to kidney cancer, passing away in his sleep as my mom and I laid with him. My father was a phenomenal man. A man that gave every single day of his life without asking for anything in return. A man that looked out for everyone around him before taking a second for himself. A man that made it his priority to take care of and protect his wife and daughter from everything. I miss him so much.. the picture next to this post hangs at the studio as a constant reminder to be my best. |
Group Classes & Workshops
Due to the heavy rehearsal schedule by our teams and other local groups, we don't offer many group classes, but we are glad to offer what we can! We also offer Special Bachata Intensives and Boot Camps throughout the year so that we can focus on social dancing which is why we are all here to begin with!
We pride ourselves on having a welcoming studio with a positive energy that makes all feel welcome when they walk through our doors. Registration is now open! |
