Biography

Garcia was raised in Santander, a port city on Spain's north coast in the Cantabria region. She later moved to Suances, also in Cantabria. "The first time I saw her, when she came, I realized her virtues. She was a girl with a lot of energy, with a lot of desire. From the beginning, I saw her a dancer,” Garcia's teacher, Marta Rojo, told El Español. Rojo remembered that Garcia started formal dance training in 2010.

Sainz was the principal dancer and chief choreographer of Spain's Super Hollywood Orchestra.[citation needed] The group used many special effects in their performances, including fireworks.
