Gabriela was born and raised in Mexico City. She began her dance training as a child studying Folklorico and later, as a teenager she studied Hula
and Tahitian dance. Her training in Middle-Eastern dance (belly dance) did not begin until the Summer of 2002 in Houston, TX. She took her first
lesson at Sirrom School of Dance where she had the opportunity to learn from different talented instructors. During that time, she met Tamara (of
Belladonna) and she became a loyal student of this popular troupe for a couple of years. Gabriela continues her dance education by attending
workshops with high profile teachers, such as Bozenka of Miami (who choreographed Shakira for one of her videos), Katia of Boston, Cassandra
of Minneapolis, Vashti of Dallas, Jim Boz of California, Nourhan Sharif of New York, legendary master instructor and choreographer Mahmoud Reda
and Fifi Abdo of Cairo Egypt.
As a performer she's had the opportunity to dance at numerous events and restaurants throughout Houston. Some of them include the George R.
Brown Convention Center (Heaith & Fitness Expo), HABDA dance nights at Bijans, Kairo Cafe, Helios, Cafe Europe, Al Basha,D'wines, Maryz, and
many more. Gabriela has also been spotted dancing at Ya Leil, Saffron, Garson, Crome Lounge, Havana Latin Grill, Cafe Layal and Yanni's, where
she is currently the featured belly dancer on Saturday nights.
Gabriela is also a member of HABDA (Houston Area Belly Dance Association) www.habda.org - She served as President (2006) & Newsletter
