Early Childhood & Life
Olivia Gonzales gave birth to Chachi Gonzales in Texas, the USA. Her parents had left Mexico to emigrate. Chachi was the youngest and most adored of her parents’ five children, whose parents ran an apparel business. In Mexican, the name Chachi means “small girl.”
The seeds of Chachi’s ambition for pursuing a profession in dance were first planted when she was just a young child. When she was just six years old, her parents enrolled her in dance lessons.
