Reina grew up dancing from a very young age for Reflections In Dance. She had many opportunities to dance at major concert venues such as Jones Beach and PNC Bank Arts Center. The training Reina received at Reflections helped her secure a dance and academic scholarship at Adelphi University as a Dance Major. Here she studied under many world renowned dancers such as Frank Augustyn, the principal dancer of the National Ballet Company in Canada, Leda Meredith, who was personally trained by Jennifer Muller, and Sharon Wong a member of the Alvin Ailey School.  After obtaining her Bachelor’s & Master’s Degree from Adelphi, Reina returned to Reflections In Dance as an instructor alongside her childhood dance teacher and mentor Nicole Donlon.  A few years later, Nicole unfortunately lost her battle with breast cancer and Reina took with her everything she learned. She worked on building a dance community and fostering an environment of love, passion for dance, hard work, team building, and most importantly a sense of belonging and family. She proudly opened All Out Dance with these morales in mind and is motivated to share this with the next generation of dancers to come!

Since then, her choreography has won many esteemed awards and at our 2024 Nationals, she was named Choreographer of the Year.
