Karin Denise grew up in the small town of Vallejo, located in California's beautiful San Francisco Bay area. She was one of 6 children.

After working in various dance reviews, Karin met up with a dance troop called “The Dancin’ Machine”. She was so enthused with the different dance styles this group portrayed; she knew this would be a great opportunity to further her entertainment skills. Again, Karin’s determination not only landed her an audition, but got her a job in this exciting Dance Troop. It was voted best lounge act in Las Vegas for 5 years in a row! She toured all over the world with Dancin Machine achieving worldwide recognition.
