Dancers at a Vedanza social
Our Story

From the lab to the dance floor.

Vedanza began with one person's leap onto a social dance floor — and grew into North County's home for Latin dancing and youth dance.

How it started

Where dance dreams come to life.

Vera started dancing at six years old — ballet, jazz and contemporary. She went on to earn a PhD in biochemistry and spent years in labs across Europe, performing on weekends just to blow off steam.

When she moved to San Diego in 2008, she fell in love with Latin music and dance. It took months to find the courage to step onto the social floor. Once she did, she was hooked — and in 2010 she began teaching, sharing the joy that had changed her own life.

In 2013 she brought Vedanza to North County to build a real community of local dancers. Today those weekly socials draw around 150 people, and a full kids' program is raising the next generation of dancers right here in Oceanside.

"Once I stepped onto the floor, I was hooked."
