Dedelle’ Barbanti began dancing as a child performing various shows and exhibitions in jazz/modern dance. Her love for Latin dance began at a very young age influenced by her family upbringing and genuine love for her culture. She accompanied her mom to various salsa clubs at the age of seventeen and began her training in street/club salsa with many of the top well-known street dancers. Wanting to go further in her career in dance and excel in her art she then joined the ballroom industry and began extensive training in American Rhythm and International Latin Dance (which include: Mambo, Cha Cha, Rumba, Bolero, and Swing) with some of the top coaches in Dancesport today. Dedelle' also had extensive training in Hip Hop and Afro-Cuban Dance.

Dedelle’ is currently studying for her certification with The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing and is a member of the National Dance Council of America.

"Because of my extensive training in street style salsa, latin ballroom, hip hop, and afro cuban dance; I believe my style is unique. Performing and Dancing are my passions, and my heart and imagination run very deep. I've been blessed to have such gifted dancers in my company, and through our combined efforts we aim to transport you into another world and take you on an unforgetable journey with each performance we bring you. So with that I present to you, 'YEMAYA'!!"
