My name is Stephanie Lasala. I am a mom of three. My two youngest, one girl (9) and one boy(10), are in competitive dance. I grew up in the dance industry and as an adult competed in the ballroom world. I spent years teaching and growing adult ballroom dancers and was so proud to have kids that shared a similar interest in dance. I also have an amazing 16 year old that plays piano and has a beautiful creative mind. I have been married for 13 years to my wonderful husband Javier. He has supported our kids and my dreams and loves to help out in any way he can. In the years that my kids have been competing we have experienced many challenges within the dance community. It has had a huge impact on my kids. I created GQ Dance to give my kids and any other dancer a safe place to learn, grow and compete.
