Maya grew up dancing at Joanne Langione Dance Center in Newton MA where her love for dance took off! She trained there in various styles for over 10 years, including tap, ballet, pointe, contemporary, and modern. In college, although she didn't study dance, she made sure to keep it as a main component of every semester. She graduated from Muhlenberg College with a degree in psychology and women's and gender studies. By joining the tap ensemble and participating in a variety of shows, Maya kept her love for dance alive throughout her years in school. Post-grad, her school friend Emily encouraged her to audition for DanceWorks, and this season they are sharing the choreographic role as their first time choreographing together!
