Show Notes

Who remembers in 2017 when We are mitu recreated the Beauty and the Beast song but Mariachi Style?

Kareli was Belle for that video.

This opportunity opened so many doors that she never knew she will be opened to her. But it didn't start that way.

Kareli has been dancing Folklorico since she was 6 years old. (Out of necessity) Her mom as a single mom that worked needed a baby sitter and took her to the local park to dance.

She always believed she was Mexican until she went to Mexico to study dance after college. In Mexico she was not considered Mexican but la gringa.

She explains how her passion for dance pulled her from her career to quit and take the leap of entrepreneurship.

"Its not easy, its still not easy"- Kareli
