More about Baya After graduating in 2005 she moved to Hawaii and danced with both the University of Hawaii dance company and the school’s hip hop dance team. During the summer of 2006 she backpacked through Costa Rica and Panama where she explored another one of her passions, animal rights activism. She lived on a sea turtle reserve protecting the turtles from poachers and creating hatcheries to save eggs from being destroyed by weather, other animals, etc. In the fall of 2007 she moved to Humboldt County, California to attend Humboldt State University. There, she was part of the school’s hip hop dance company, Demolition Dance Squad. However, after her first semester she was chosen out of approximately 70,000 applicants to be one of the eight roommates in the 21st season of The Real World, The Real World Brooklyn. While on the show Baya had the opportunity to audition for the Hip Hop Dance Conservatory in Manhattan. She was accepted, but Baya decided her heart was more into dancing at the Broadway Dance Center. Although she hopes to one day becoming a professional dancer, Baya decided to explorer her other love of music as welll. She became a resident DJ at Pete Wentz’s bar, Angels and Kings, where she still DJ’s a weekly party called Trainwreck, www.myspace.com/trainwrecktuesday. Most recently she has DJ’d at the Sundance Film Festival 2009 and at the Mohegan Sun Casino’s, Club Ultra88 where DJ Skribble, Vice, and Reach have all performed.
