Nahomi Alafita is originally from Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. When she was three years old, her parents noticed her dancing with steps resembling ballet. As a result, they decided to enroll her in a local academy, where she continued to train until the age of 13. At that point, she decided to pursue professional training and moved to study at the Escuela Superior de Música y Danza Clásica in Monterrey, Mexico, at 14. There, she obtained a degree in ballet.
Before completing her studies at Escuela Superior, she relocated to the United States to join the San Francisco Ballet School. During this time, she had the opportunity to participate in San Francisco Ballet company productions, like The Nutcracker.
In 2022, she continued her studies in Chicago at The Joffrey Academy of Dance as a Trainee. Some of her notable achievements include her participation in the production of The Nutcracker with the Joffrey Ballet Company, her performance of Soloists Variations in suites of the ballets Raymonda and Napoli with the Academy, and her involvement in the Joffrey Academy Trainee Teaching Endorsement program. Additionally, she was a choreographer for two consecutive years for the Young Moves performance.
This year, she took part in Ballet Arizona’s Summer Intensive program and is eager to join the Arizona Ballet School. Her favorite hobbies are reading and enjoying musical theatre.
