Queenie V. (QUEEN) was born in the Manila, Philippines but grew up in Toronto, Canada since the age of 11.  Growing up in a foreign country was not easy, but fortunately, music and dance are universal languages that can transcend barriers and connect people. Dance has since then became her means of expression, escape and belonging.

Queenie’s earliest training in urban dance styles began in 2010 with York University’s Hiphop Competitive Team, Stylewize. After graduating in 2012, she continued to train with friends, and with friendship rooted in the love of dance, DEUCEnDIP was formed. Being a part of an All-Female dance crew was a major milestone and platform for Queenie’s dance career. Dancing with DEUCEnDIP taught her how to dance as a strong and confident woman, how to be a working professional and how to be a team member.

At around the same time (2012), Queenie also began training under FLAVORSHOP founder and mentor, Lenny Len. Till this day, she continues to master and improve on her skills as a dancer, choreographer and teacher because she believes that growth happens when we continue to empty our buckets.

She aims to share what she has learned in her own dance journey to anyone who is eager to learn – to help them discover themselves through dance and to equip them with the necessary skills and mindset to become successful in their own dance journeys.
