Vira Lee, a New York native, began her dance training at the Joffrey Ballet School– several of those years spent at the Joffrey Workshop Texas intensive where she worked closely with Liz D’anna, Francesca Corkle, John Magnus, Trinette Singleton, and Eleanor D’Antuono. She continued her dance education while earning her B.A. in Psychology at CUNY Hunter College. Vira has performed at Alvin Ailey Dance Theater for The Urban Styles Showcase and as a featured soloist for BalaSole Dance Company in 2014. She has also performed at Sybarite Production’s ‘Love is Love’ Showcase for choreographer, Jessica Figueroa, and has performed as a featured member of Janice Rosario and Company at Triskelion Arts Center, Secret Theater, West End Theater, and The Tobago Contemporary Dance Festival between 2014 and 2016.

In 2016, Vira began her Salsa training with Nelson Flores and Destiny Garcia. She began performing with their team, Descarga Latina Dance Company in 2016 and has traveled to Miami, Trinidad and Tobago, London, Panama, and Thailand, to compete and perform. Since then, Vira has placed 1st at the Miami World Salsa Summit in the Amateur Same Gender Division (2019 & 2020) and the Open Ladies Shines Division (2019). With the intentions of broadening her technique to incorporate Afro-Cuban elements into her salsa dancing, Vira also pursued training with Ernesto & Denisse in 2018. After some time taking private lessons, she joined their dance company, Iroko (New York) in 2018 and debuted the semi-pro routine at the New York Salsa Congress (2019). 

Currently, Vira aids Devin in the Adults Salsa dance program at Addie-tude Cultural Arts Center and teaches weekly ballet classes for children as well.
