GIZELA MALDONADO
Founder of Mexico Lindo Orlando-MLo (2015), she proudly shares the soul of her Mexican “Raices” with her students.

Born in Mexico City, Mrs. Gizela started her dance journey at a young age as part of the Folklorico ensamble in middle school and Highschool. In college  she joined the National University of Mexico’s Folklorico Ballet.   Mrs. Gizela founded MLo with the goal of building bridges between cultures. Mrs. Gizela knows her students might be the last generation whose parents were born in Mexico, so many of their traditions might not survive another generation. Passing down her knowledge of Mexican Folklorico dance is her mission, and a way she likes to contribute to enhancing the richness of the vibrant and multicultural community in Central Florida
