4worldlovers: Vika S. Hernandez is a dance artist from San Diego, CA. She holds a Masters of Arts in Global & International Studies with an emphasis on Global Culture and Religion. Her unique dance projects and classes investigate and explore how cosmology shapes our understanding of the universe as well as our understanding of the human body. With over 16 years of practice, she incorporates somatic healing into her practice to offer road maps for empowerment and radical self love.

She is the founder and creative director of the International Women’s Day Arts+DanceXchange, an annual event celebrating women around the world while promoting environmental sustainability through dance, music, and educational arts workshops with a mission to build a meaningful connection to nature through community exchange. She credits her embodied knowledge from studying Afro-Brazilian dance and Capoeira with Mestre Mariano Silva for 15 years as well as her training in Bahia, Brazil where she trained capoeira with Mestre Angola and studied Orixa sacred dances, Afro-contemporary, Samba and Samba-Reggae at the Fundação Cultural do Estado da Bahia (Funceb) and Diáspora Art Center. She has performed professionally throughout Southern California, Miami Florida, and Salvador, Bahia Brazil.

We are located in the beautiful and charming downtown “Village of Carlsbad.” There is plenty to see and do while your dancer receives their lessons. Our location is a five minute (or less) walk from restaurants, shops or the beach. We are the finest dance facility in San Diego County. Our bright & clean studios have raised/floating hardwood dance floors and professional sound systems. We have a large private patio area where you can relax, visit with other CDC members, read a book or just soak in the sun!

Carlsbad Dance Centre is dedicated to providing affordable, professional dance instruction. The dance year culminates with our annual Dance Recital program and award ceremonies for outstanding long-term students. The Recital is held in a beautiful, professional concert theater. There are also opportunities for students to perform locally, attend dance conferences and participate in regional and national dance competitions.

Running a business that involves a great deal of interaction, influence and time spent with young children and teens, is considerably different then repairing someone’s car or dry-cleaning their clothing. You don’t have an emotional relationship or attachment to your car (OK…some folks do!) or your clothing. Your children however are the most important part of your life! Jana & Ron Romaine; the owners of Carlsbad Dance Centre understand the responsibility and magnitude of providing a dance studio that’s a safe and moral place for your children to spend time. Jana’s career as a dancer and teacher spans twenty-five years. During that time Jana has worked with and had a positive influence on thousands of children. Ron has owned and run businesses for more than thirty years and understands the significant and delicate balance of blending business and personal relationships. Together Jana & Ron form a partnership that’s creative, caring and diligent.

The Carlsbad Dance Centre employs a diverse group of professional teachers that are second to none. Our experienced, dedicated and talented staff, provides your dancer with a myriad of styles, disciplines and personalities to train under. Versatility & variety is one of the keys to a great dancer! We also provide our customers access to a full-time administrative office open Monday thru Saturday and staffed with friendly, knowledgeable people to help you with your dance needs. In this business you can have the best possible facilities but if you don’t have a staff to match, you’ve got nothing.
