3-19 Dance Art: Born of the love for dance, ballet, world dance, movement, music and visual art. 3-19 Dance Art combines all the elements to transport those around to a different place in time. 3-19 Dance Art is not just dance or choreography. It is a journey with a purpose to at least for some time transport the mind and spirit to a different place, where everything is possible and nothing is impossible. The beauty of Dance, Visual arts, Music all weigh equally on this equation of creativity where Beatriz is the creator, taking you with her to a higher realm where the preoccupations of this mundane world cease to exist.

“3-19 Dance Art is created as a tribute to my parents, specially my father who was a mathematician and used math as a game to connect with me. It was math and dance the subjects which kept me sane as a child who couldn’t communicate in this new country. I chose numbers to define my work as my work has no ethnicity, I swim in the waters of each culture as if it was my own. We live in a global world and I choose to be inclusive of everything as opposed to delineate boundaries.” “3 is my birth month, 19 the day my parents united in matrimony. It is because of that union that I am here today. “ I AM 3-19 .
