Patricia was born and raised in New York City and began dancing at the age of 9 years old. Her initial training began with ballroom, by the age of 10; she'd won a NYC dance competition in swing. Although ballroom was her first introduction to dance, she started watching pop lockers, break-dancers, her brother who did hip hop, as well as her idol Michael Jackson and realize hip-hop and popping was her passion. Both styles really opened her eyes, making her eager to learn.
