Carolina Hernandez is a professional Colombian dancer who from a very young age felt a connection with art, from music (singing and clarinet), theater and dance, starting her artistic education at 4 years old and between the ages of 11 and 20 she was a clarinet player which helped her to build strong musical skills.

Dancing was something that Carolina had always liked to do but had never taken it as a constant practice in her life, until she was 15 years old when she and her sister began to take belly dance classes, they fell in love and became passionate about this dance and created a group called DanzAgher, with which they began to perform their first shows and teach their first classes. With this company she performed in Venezuela and Ecuador.
