Malu first stepped onstage at the age of 10 where she accidentally discovered her passion for dance in a school play.  When she was 15, Malu traveled with her group to L.A for the annual "International World Hip Hop" competition and placed 6th in the U.S. Soon after, Malu led her high school dance team for two years where she explored her own creativity through choreography. After graduating from high school, Malu took dance classes day and night training in ballet, jazz, hip hop, break dancing, and salsa. Soon, she became an intern and teaching assistant at U4ria dance studio and gradually opened up to as many as 5 of her own classes a week.

At age 18, she took on her first professional audition for Fox's hit show "So You Think You Can Dance" season 4, where she made top 23 in her city to travel to Las Vegas and worked with world renowned choreographers. Malu became an NBA Miami Heat Dancer at the age of 19 performing for thousands of Miami fans throughout the games. She has worked with several music artists including Gloria Trevi, Ivy Queen, the Gwop Boys, Pee Wee, Dylan y Lenny, Ninel Conde and many more around South Florida. Malu has had the opportunity to travel throughout America and overseas in her career of dancing. She has appeared in several Spanish networks such as Univision and Telemundo dancing live on television for awards shows. Malu has recently started to work on the set of Spanish novelas for film as a dance double.

Currently finishing her Bachelor's degree in Theatre and Dance at Florida Atlantic University, Malu has continued to teach her students at U4ria and continue to train in classes herself. Her passion to perform and help other aspiring dancers only keeps growing and growing.
