My name is Sebastian Vega. I’m a male dancer from Alajuela, Costa Rica. I’m 18 years old and I have been dancing for almost three years now. I’m lucky to have had a supportive and loving family who’s gotten me to where I am now.

Currently training in Dansteps Academy (ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, latin jazz and hip hop) and also teaching there and at another academy. I’ve taken various dance intensives in different areas (such as commercial dance and physical training) to make my dancing expand a bit more. I won the intrigue Improv challenge in 2018, which was one of the highlights of my dancing career because it made me believe in my art, and to love myself and what I do.

In this short time dancing’s become something that gives meaning to my life and makes me truly happy. I’m even considering it as a career. I’ve trained and taken class with lots of choreographers and teachers from around the world (Israel, Italy, Spain, USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, etc.) and also performed at music festivals, school presentations, academy shows, etc.

I love learning from new people because it expands my boundaries and pushes me to be a better dancer. Meeting and working with new people are definitely two of my favorite things. I hope this experience with The Lab Dance Convention is everything that I hope for and more. I am excited and ready to begin.
