Meet Chandra Oviedo
Chandra’s journey in dance began at the age of four, igniting a passion that has become the heartbeat of her life. Throughout her early years, she trained in ballet, jazz, hip hop, world dance, tap, and clogging—but it was competitive ballroom that truly captured her spirit and became her main focus. For Chandra, dance is more than an art form; it is her lifeline and most powerful means of expression.
She continued refining her technique at Brigham Young University and later became a key member of a traveling dance team, performing across the U.S. and Canada. With infectious enthusiasm and unwavering dedication, Chandra constantly pushes her limits, using her skill and love for dance to inspire and uplift those around her.
