Through this she studied and taught swing dance in Barcelona while attending and competing at major festivals throughout Europe. After completing her year abroad, Elena trained at Steps on Broadway, completed the Professional Semester at Broadway Dance Center, and taught at Broadway Dance Center Children & Teens.
