A little history...
Paloma was originally from Buenos Aires Argentina. At the age of 15 she came to New York to pursue her dancing career. When she got there she was asked to audition for ABT ~ The American Ballet Theater ~ and they offered her a contract. In two years Paloma was promoted to Soloist dancer in the company then onto the highest level, Principal dancer. At the age of nineteen she performed the role of Juliet in Romeo and Juliet. This was one of her dreams since she was a little girl and it was finally coming true. From then on she was known as not only a child prodigy, but a true artist.
