Gabriela Equiz began training as a dancer when she was 4 years old. She studied Ballet and flamenco in the best schools in Mexico City, Tijuana and Los Angeles. As an adult, she made a career in Electronic Systems Engineering in the city of Tijuana and later she enrolls into a Masters in Robotics. While she lived in LA, attended an audition that led to a recording contract to sing in an international quintet "i5" and go on tour opening concerts by artists such as Britney Spears and 'N Sync, among others. At the same time, also in Los Angeles met the world of salsa and it was then that she fell in love with this kind of dancing.
In 2004, Gaby comes back to Tijuana and decides to become a professional and opened an academy of arts, like the one she attended when she was a little girl (Milton Gio Academy) in which she could lead children wishing to develop their artistic abilities.
