About the Moderator: 

Mayte Garcia is a world-renowned dancer, choreographer, actress, singer, animal advocate, and internationally best-selling author. Born in Alabama to Puerto Rican parents, Mayte’s passion for dance began at just three years old, inspired by her mother, a professional belly dancer. By the age of eight, she had already made history as the world’s youngest professional belly dancer, a milestone recognized on the television show “That’s Incredible”.

Her extraordinary talent led her to work with some of the biggest names in the industry, but it was her time dancing alongside Prince that became one of the most defining aspects of her career. As the first female solo dancer in The New Power Generation, Mayte performed on legendary tours, choreographed iconic routines, and became an integral part of Prince’s artistic vision. 

Beyond her performing career, Mayte is deeply committed to philanthropy and animal welfare. In 1996, she co-founded Live 4 Love Charities in memory of their son, Amiir, alongside Prince. The foundation continues his philanthropic legacy by supporting programs that uplift and strengthen communities worldwide. Additionally, Mayte’s love for animals led her to establish Mayte’s Rescue, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating dogs in need.
