BB BABIES INSTRUCTOR

TAYLOR ROMERO

Taylor Romero began her dance journey at the age of six and has been dancing ever since. She has been trained in multiple styles such as ballet, hip hop, breakin’, and house. In high school Taylor became a member of Dance Productions. Through this dance team she found her love for choreography and eventually became one of the Head Choreographers, as well as President her senior year. Taylor started teaching hip hop professionally at the age of 16 at Ramona Julian Academy of Dance.

She is currently a Hip Hop Competition Coach for RJAD, as well as an instructor at Culture Shock Dance Center. In September 2017, Taylor auditioned for GWOWNUPS directed by Carlo Darang and Amor Ledesma. She is currently on her 3rd season with this team and is forever grateful for the opportunity to grow alongside such dedicated dancers who have become her family.

Taylor is in her last year of college pursuing her nursing degree. She has been a part of Building Block since 2018 when she joined as a sessions coordinator. Here at Building Block, she is currently Head of Coordinating and a Director for our Academy. Taylor loves being an instructor and getting to help her students grow into the best versions of themselves is one of the things she cherishes the most. Her mission is to create a supportive learning environment for children to reach developmental milestones, while helping them build a foundation in movement by instilling a love for learning through dance. 

Melanie Ordoñez

Melanie Ordoñez’ love of dance began at the age of 3 when she started ballet and tap lessons. Her parents tried to get her involved in other hobbies and sports growing up, but she kept her love for dance throughout her childhood. Her passion for dance grew from competing with her dance studio throughout elementary and middle school, to joining her middle and high school dance teams. She assisted and subbed kids classes at Danceology, and worked as the front desk administrator throughout high school and some college. 

While studying business marketing at University of San Diego, she joined the adult hip hop team her senior year. She continued dancing after college and joined GWOWNUPS in its founding year, 2017, while working full-time as a Sr. Content Strategist in San Diego.

Melanie hopes to inspire young dancers to not only let dance be a growing passion, but also grow up wanting to make an impact and appreciate the close-knit dance community we have here in SD.
