Micaya has been an instructor, and choreographer for over 20 years.
Formally trained in ballet, jazz, modern, and African and Latin dance
forms, she has a diversity that she incorporates into her choreography
and teaching styles. In 1993, she began producing high energy,
underground, sold-out hip-hop dance shows in the heart of San
Francisco’s Mission District . Those shows led up to the creation of
the First Annual San Francisco Hip Hop DanceFest in 1999 at Theatre
Artaud. Now in its 10th anniversary year and presented at the historic
Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, the San Francisco Hip Hop DanceFest has
grown to be THE event that has put San Francsico on the map for
presenting hip hop dance . Acknowledged as the FIRST festival dedicated
specifically to hip hop dance, the DanceFest is a groundbreaking event,
hosting companies from all over the globe.
Micaya’s choreography has been featured in corporate events as well as
music videos,television, nightclubs, festivals, theaters, cabaret, and
touring productions. She is the founder and
director of SoulForce Dance Company, and is the producer of the
popular annual community show called “Mission in the Mix” which
features SoulForce along with up and coming local companies and
students. Micaya’s classes are loved by Bay Area students of all ages
