Today we’d like to introduce you to Romeo Rios
Hi Romeo, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Of course, It all started about 2 years ago.
I felt lost. Not knowing what I was supposed to be doing with my life.
Until one day, I was super bored and said to myself,
“why don’t I try out this dance class” (it was a pole class)
I was so nervous that I didn’t even go to the first two classes I registered for.
All my life I allowed my nerves to get the best of me and I skipped out on some amazing memories that could’ve been made.
Flash forward to present time and I LOVE dancing.
I can’t go a day without it.
I incorporate it to my everyday life and i’m so glad that I conquered my fears and walked into that dance class.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
This road has definitely been bumpy.
I had to make several stops on the way.
People on social media will almost always only see the beauty in someone else’s life but never do they see what goes on behind the scenes.
All the sweat , all the tears & yes even some blood.
I’ve worked so hard to get to where I am now and I have endured a lot but it’s made me into the amazing talented, self-sufficient person that I am today.
This past 2 1/2 years was so hard due to the fact that our economy isn’t in the best shape. Trying to do what you love when you don’t have that much gigs is hard. I have bills to pay and I feel like I can hardly breathe at times due to high stress levels.
But i’ve worked extremely hard and I will succeed in the goals. I know where i’m heading , just waiting for others to realize it as well 😉
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am in an internship program with the studio I dance at. It’s allowing me to become a full time dance instructor and learn more about dance along the way.
Other than that,
I am a drag and boylesque performer.
I am well known for my dynamic dance moves and giving the audience a SHOW darlin’
I come up with my own choreography and produce/attended in burlesque shows all throughout the west coast.
Which makes me truly proud of myself, I’ve only been dancing for less than 2 years and have grown tremendously. That sets me apart from everyone else because I know what I bring to the table and I am confident in it.
Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
I was born to be on stage.
From adolescence I found a way to get on stage and perform.
Whether it was acting , singing, dancing or all three !
I loved being able to express myself without the feeling of judgement.
Overcoming my stage fright at a young age has got to be my favorite childhood memory.
