Most recognizable for being an integral part of the all female dance crew 'We Are Heroes', Riquel, aka 'Riqi', is no stranger to hard work and perseverance... which has paid off in so many ways.

Riquel helped 'We Are Heroes' make history in 2009, by becoming the first all-female dance crew to win 'Randy Jackson Presents: American Best Dance Crew'. Her road to this monumental accomplishment started at an early age, in the town of Twin Falls, Idaho. She trained in all styles ranging from tap to belly dance... she quickly realized that dance was her true passion. After high school she decided to move to LA, in order to capitalize on more opportunities, train with the best and pursue a career in dance.

It didn't take long for her to get recognized... as she landed a feature dance role in the music video "Blame It" by Jamie Foxx, featuring T-Pain. Since then her career has not stopped. She was hired by Disney as a guest star to perform weekly at the amazing set up of elecTRONica. Not only has she had the pleasure of working with artists such as Ciara, Kimberly Locke and Jason Derulo, but she has also assisted amazing choreographers like NappyTabs and Ro Ro.
