 ounder of Aroha Afro Latin Dance\, Adalia Ellis-Aroha\, is from South Carol
 ina and has been dancing since she was a child. Naturally drawn to dance\, 
 as a teenager she participated in grassroots performing arts groups that fo
 cused on using dance to address issues of social importance such as racism\
 , the equality of women and men\, and substance abuse. ​With nearly 20 ye
 ars of dance experience\, in countries around the world and at home\, Adali
 a has seen the power of dance as a tool to create communities rooted in fri
 endship\, mutual respect\, and a deeper connection with one's self.\nAs a t
 eenager\, she found an additional outlet for her creativity as a writer of 
 poetry and performing Spoken word pieces in coffee shops. While attending C
 oastal Carolina University she was first introduced to Latin Dance in the l
 iving room of her best friend and wrote and performed her first choreopoem\
 , “My Dear Mother Africa”.\nAs a young adult\, she traveled the world a
 nd it was during her travels that she honed her skills as a Latin Dancer an
 d became a certified instructor under the tutelage of Son\, Na-Ri of SalsaI
 n Academy in Seoul\, South Korea. While in Seoul\, she also partnered with 
 MIZY\, a UNESCO foundation\, and facilitated and directed a program called 
 “HipHopucation”. This program followed the roots of modern day Hip-Hop 
 from Africa to present day. The collective artistic work of her students cu
 lminated in a performance for the public.\nRecently\, while working as a pr
 ofessor of public speaking at Francis Marion University\, she created and t
 aught courses on the History of Afro Latin Dance and Music and Hip-Hop: An 
 American Story. The semester-long courses concluded with a performance for 
 the public which served as the final.\nShe continues to be dedicated to the
  skill and craft of dance instruction which is reflected in her own educati
 on and professional development.\nDEGREES: Coastal Carolina University* His
