 he founder of Aroha Afro Latin Dance\, Adalia Ellis-Aroha\, is from South C
 arolina and has been dancing since she was a child. Naturally drawn to danc
 e\, as a teenager she participated in grassroots performing arts groups tha
 t focused on using dance to address issues of social importance such as rac
 ism\, the equality of women and men\, and substance abuse. ​With nearly 2
 0 years of dance experience\, in countries around the world and at home\, A
 dalia has seen the power of dance as a tool to create communities rooted in
  friendship\, mutual respect\, and a deeper connection with one's self.\nAs
  a teenager\, she found an additional outlet for her creativity as a writer
  of poetry and performing Spoken word pieces in coffee shops. While attendi
 ng Coastal Carolina University she was first introduced to Latin Dance in t
 he living room of her best friend and wrote and performed her first choreop
 oem\, “My Dear Mother Africa”.\nAs a young adult\, she traveled the wor
 ld and it was during her travels that she honed her skills as a Latin Dance
 r and became a certified instructor under the tutelage of Son\, Na-Ri of Sa
 lsaIn Academy in Seoul\, South Korea. While in Seoul\, she also partnered w
 ith MIZY\, a UNESCO foundation\, and facilitated and directed a program cal
 led “HipHopucation”. This program followed the roots of modern day Hip-
 Hop from Africa to present day. The collective artistic work of her student
 s culminated in a performance for the public.\nRecently\, while working as 
 a professor of public speaking at Francis Marion University\, she created a
 nd taught 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 edu
 cation and professional development.\nDEGREES: Coastal Carolina University*
