Our Director
Odaymis, driven by her lifelong love for dance and passion for teaching, turned her dream into reality by opening En Pointe Dance—a studio focused on nurturing both the artistic and personal growth of children and adults. Her dance journey began at age 4 with ballet, and she went on to train in various styles, performing in productions like The Nutcracker and Swan Lake. She was also a competitive dancer, participating in regional and national competitions. In 2008, Odaymis was selected as a Miami Heat Dancer, performing professionally for the NBA from 2008-2011.
Odaymis began teaching ballet at 17 and has since dedicated her life to sharing the joy of dance. Her experience as both a performer and instructor has shaped her teaching style, which blends technical skill with important life lessons like discipline and hard work.
At En Pointe Dance, Odaymis fosters a positive, family-like atmosphere where students not only learn the art of dance but also grow into confident, respectful, and disciplined individuals. She believes that dance builds character and strives to instill values like perseverance, collaboration, and respect in her students, helping them succeed in all aspects of life.
