Alma Collins
Meet Alma Collins, one of our 2026 Local Stars. A proud Latina, fashionista, personal stylist, and hospitality professional, Alma is honored to step onto the dance floor in support of the LGBTQ+ community.
Meet Alma Collins
Alma Collins is a proud Latina, born and raised in Texas.
She attended the University of Texas at El Paso, where she was starstruck by the football team captain—a New Yorker with a powerful personality who stopped at nothing to make her his wife and take her back home with him. That man is Eric Collins, her husband of 38 years, who gave her two amazing sons, Eric II and Christopher, who inspire her every day. He also gave her New York City, where she lived most of her adult life.
Alma is a fashionista and a personal stylist with an addiction for running!
Her 35-year career in the hospitality industry flourished and strengthened through her work in lavish hotels in Texas, Florida, and New York. She relocated to New Jersey in 2019 and has been at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City for seven years.
Alma was ecstatic when her friend Arlin, from Arlin’s Dance Spot, reached out and asked if she wanted to be part of Dancing Under The Rainbow this year.
She is deeply honored to be part of this special production and to offer her love and support to the LGBTQ+ community!
