Ms Alyssa moreno

Born in San Diego, CA, and raised in Tijuana, MX, Alyssa Moreno began her dance journey at age four. From a very young age, Ms. Alyssa knew she wanted to be a dance teacher. She often volunteered to help out with the younger dancers’ classes, and naturally, at the age of eighteen, she began her teaching journey at Balletto Dance Studio, the studio where she grew

up dancing. As the only artistic member of a large family, she continues to work hard to grow and improve as a teacher and promote the arts.

In May 2024, she graduated with honors and an Outstanding Student award from San Diego State University, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance. During her time at the SDSU Dance Program, Ms. Alyssa had the honor of being mentored by Jessica Humphrey, and with her help, developed a dance research project called "Entremedio/In-Between," which won the Outstanding Creative and Performing Arts Award at the 2024 SDSU Student Research Symposium. As a student, she also had the privilege of learning from and collaborating with distinguished artists such as Joseph Alter, Leslie Sieters, Khamla Somphanh, and Briana Lopez.

Since graduating, Ms. Alyssa has made continuing her preparation as a teacher a priority. She is certified in the ABT National Training Curriculum from Level Pre-Primary through Level 5. She also holds a certification from the Rambert Grades Contemporary Syllabus on all levels. As a teacher, Ms. Alyssa strives to inspire and motivate her students to follow their dreams. Currently teaching on both sides of the border, she enjoys sharing her passion and knowledge with students as she continues to learn and evolve herself, encouraging questions and problem-solving in class. She believes that dance is much more than a creative outlet; the lessons learnt in the studio can often transcend to other areas of life.
