Miss Beatriz

Bea Martins, Director of Operations & Development

Ms. Bea is truly the best, and we are so excited to be entering her eighth season with the Reach For The Barres family! As our Director of Operations and Development, she is the organizational heart of our studio, bringing a wealth of expertise and a passion for creating a smooth and stress-free experience for our dance families and staff.

Born and raised in Brazil, Ms. Beatriz began dancing at the age of 4. Her extensive training includes jazz, ballet, contemporary, tap, and hip hop. After many years of dancing competitively and teaching children at her home studio, Beatriz moved to the U.S. to pursue a professional dance career. She participated in the American Academy of Ballet Summer program in New York and was a part of the studio company of Ballet Chicago. During her time in both cities, she performed as part of the Corps de Ballet for

The Nutcracker and was a soloist in a variety of other pieces.

Beatriz later moved to Los Angeles to earn her B.A. in Communication Studies from Biola University, where she also joined the Biola Dance Crew. We are so grateful for her leadership and her dedication to our values of kindness, community, and excellence, which allows us to focus on what we do best: helping dancers grow into joyful, confident individuals. We are thrilled to continue to have her as a mentor and are excited for her to continue sharing her love of dance with our students.
