From hobby to business—a dancer takes a leap of faith
It was always Valentina Bagala’s dream to open a dance studio. She took dance classes as a child in Chile, and throughout high school and college. After graduating from the University of Florida, she worked in human resources but felt like something was missing without dance in her life. So in 2013, she and her husband, Rafael Savino, decided to take a leap of faith. They quit their jobs, maxed out their credit cards, and became first-time business owners of a dance studio in Doral, FL—Ascendance Studio.
