International Artist & Director

---

Ali Loo is an international Latin dance artist, instructor, and choreographer based in Hawai‘i, known for her magnetic stage presence and grounded, expressive style.

Her dance journey began in 2015 on O‘ahu, where she studied Bachata under Kyle Quintal before continuing her training internationally with renowned artists including Demetrio Rosario and Nestor & Rebecca Manuelian.

Driven by a passion for movement, Ali expanded her training into Salsa and Mambo in New York City, studying with Huracán, Baila Society, Eddie Torres Jr., and Scarlett Medrano, alongside Afro-Cuban dance with Noibis Licea.

She later trained in Chicago under the mentorship of retired principal ballet dancer and Salsa Bachata Cabaret coach, José Serrano — an experience that deeply shaped her artistry, discipline, and approach to movement.

In 2025, Ali continued her global artistic development through focused private training and cross disciplinary study, expanding her range across the Latin dance spectrum and further refining her artistic voice.

As the Director of Aloha Dance Company, Ali is dedicated to transforming lives through dance, sharing her artistry on stage and in the classroom with equal presence, passion, and purpose. She has been featured at international festivals and has taught workshops across multiple countries, specializing in Bachata, Salsa, and Ladies’ Styling. She continues to inspire dancers of all levels through a signature blend of technique, musicality, and expressive storytelling.
