Bio: Xinia started dancing when she was 4 years old at KMC Dance in Robbinsdale she trained there for 2 years until moving back home to Miami, FL. After graduating High School, she returned to Minnesota to attend Concordia St. Paul University where she rediscovered her love for dance. Throughout her time, Xinia took part in their annual production of Spring Into Dance, participating in over 28 pieces as either dancer or choreographer, and continues to contribute as an Alumna. She is so excited for another performance with 8:20 and to work with such talented individuals.
Why 820: One of my favorite things about this company is how truly happy everyone is to be part of it. Happy to dance and preform together. After my first show, I learned just how welcoming and kind everyone at 8:20 was. That feeling of community and shared joy really just keeps me coming back for more performances with them!
