MEET YOUR STUDIO OWNER & DIRECTOR
Janeth Reyna Mendoza Hernandez
Owner & Director
Hi! I’m Janeth Reyna Mendoza Hernandez, the owner and director of Reyna Elite Dance Company. Dance has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’m so excited to share that passion and love with our studio family.
I began dancing at the age of 8 and trained in styles including Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary, Hip Hop and Acro. Over the years, dance has taught me discipline, confidence, and commitment—lessons I strive to pass on to every student.
I opened Reyna Elite with the goal of creating a positive, supportive environment where all dancers of any level feels uplifted, challenged, and acknowledged. My teaching philosophy focuses on strong community, confidence, technique, and building strong relationships both in and out of the studio.
Our studio is more than a place to dance, it’s a community built on hard work and passion. I’m incredibly thankful for our dancers and families and feel so lucky to create, grow, and celebrate together every day.
Welcome to Reyna Elite Dance Company 💖
