• Teacher Bio: I am Naomi Baeza and I have been the Dance Teacher at Horizon HS since 2002. Before becoming a dance teacher, I taught English also at HHS. I have danced since the age of 7. I studied ballet folklorico, flamenco, jazz, ballet, hip-hop, and belly dancing. I performed for the DOD overseas tours (1995-1999) in Germany, Italy, Egypt, Jerusalem, Jordan, Greece, and Turkey while in Ballet Folklorico Quetzales. I performed in Viva El Paso from 1989-2001 where I was dance captain in 2000. I choreographed the Mexican Sequence of Viva El Paso in 2003. I became the director of the Horizon HS Dance Team, the Stingers, in 2002 to present. My true passion is dance and my true purpose is to create passion in my students.
