Tanya Rojas

Hi! I'm 24.  I started dancing when I was 5 @ Dancer's Workshop.  I became a member of the Yuma Ballet Theatre when I was 9.  In 2003, I became a dancer with Ballet Yuma and Jazz of Yuma.  In 2005, I went back to dance with YBT as part of their new professional staff for two years.  During those two years I studied @ AWC and graduated in the Spring of 2007 with my A.A.S. in Radiologic Technology
