Mercedes is the official mascot of Lokes Looks Studio. She loves to wear Lokes Looks Hula attire with her latest manicure (Actually, she insists that it is called a pet-i-cure. Go figure.)

With her gentle demeanor, Mercedes is a quiet spectator during Belly Dance class and any other class that she can squeeze into her busy schedule.

Mercedes is a canine of many talents. With her lovely soprano voice, she is undeniably a classical pianist like no other. And she reportedly has one heck of a spinning back kick in Shotokan Karate class.

Priscila Chavez is our friendly office manager. She will greet you at the door, answer your questions both in person and on the phone, and help with our registration process and discounts.

Priscila is a vibrant young lady who joined Lokes Looks in 2011. She is waiting to meet you and help you choose the best Lokes Looks class for you and your family. Also, Priscila is bilingual, fluent in both English and Spanish.
