Regina Hammeken was born in Mexico City and lives in Houston, Texas. She began dancing at the age of eight. At the age of fifteen she began training at the Houston Metropolitan Dance Center and later the Institute of Contemporary Dance. Regina was an inaugural member of the Houston Contemporary 2- a concert based, non competitive, pre-professional dance company focused on training and performance under the direction of Genene Wallis-McGrath and Marlana Doyle. She has had the opportunity to train with Houston’s top instructors, including Terrill Mitchell, Alexandra Pernice-Etayo, and Travis Prokop. Regina graduated Magna Cum Laude from Tomball High School and is now studying Dance Performance, Psychology , and Nueroscience at Southern Methodist University. She is very excited to further grow and evolve as an artist and person while enjoying and gaining inspiration from such amazing environment.

Dance is my outlet, my opportunity to escape reality and step into an incredible and creative experience that further pushes me to want to share such breathtaking art form with those around me. I am a very empathetic dancer, bringing immense work ethic and positivity to every experience I encounter. As an ever-growing artist, I am constantly pushing my boundaries and absorbing inspiration from other creators.
