Trejo of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, is a professional dancer at Ballet Folklorico of the University of Colima, Mexico, and is a consultant, choreographer and honorary assistant director for Ballet Folklórico of Los Angeles. He also teaches art in elementary school in Colima. He has a bachelor’s degree in art with major in stage dance from the University of Colima.

Trejo has been dancing most of his life. He specializes in the training of Mexican folk dancers, dance for children, stage lighting, and in creating movement from the exploration of emotion and energy.

In March, the video of her choreographic mariachi remake of “A Tale as Old as Time,” went viral on the web with nearly 14 million views in less than a month.
