was destined from birth to be a performer. Her mother was an accomplished opera singer; her father a singing star on radio. While growing up in Santa Barbara, Martha Graham was often her baby-sitter. Fay began studying ballet at an early age, and later spent many years studying, performing, and teaching the folkloric dances of the Philippines and Polynesia. After majoring in Piano & Voice at the University of Santo Tomás, Fay continued to pursue vocal studies with noted teachers, and made three concert tours of Germany as a soprano soloist with Santa Barbara's own Edelweiss Choir. Fay's most recent stage appearance was in the Santa Barbara Grand Opera production of Die Fledermaus, for which she created the waltz choreography. In 1991, Fay began studying Argentine Tango under Alberto Toledano & Loreen Arbus, who arranged for her to give public exhibitions of Tango after only a few months of training. Fay has furthered her studies under many of the best-known Argentine master-teachers, and teaches Argentine Tango locally at Julie McLeod's Dance Warehouse.
