Slowly building a playlist of salsa songs that make me feel inspired to dance. I recently discovered this Cheche Abreu song and fell in love with it instantly #SalsaShines #SalsaFootwork #MamboShines #DanceTechnique #CurlyHairModel

No prep, just chose a song and pressed record. Forcing myself to record myself dancing without planning out steps first has been a fun challenge. #MamboFreestyle #SalsaFootwork #MamboShines #DanceTechnique #CurlyHairModel

More practice! Today I’m working on arm styling 😊 #SalsaStyling #SalsaFootwork #MamboShines #DanceTechnique #CurlyHairModel

Rough draft of the new routine. I definitely want to work on my styling and body movement moving forward! #SalsaFootwork #MamboShines #DanceTechnique #ChaChaChaRhythm #CurlyHairModel

A classy NY style mambo to end the weekend on a high note before the grind of the work week starts again #SalsaDrills #DanceCover #ModelOffDuty #FootworkVariations #CurlyHairModel

It’s finally the weeken, let’s dance! #SalsaDrills #DanceCover #ModelOffDuty #FootworkVariations #CurlyHairModel

New location, same vibes. Picked a song a random and went for it. The challenge is executing steps I don’t already do all the time. #SalsaFootwork #MamboShines #DanceTechnique #DanceCommunity #CurlyHairModel

Let me know your favorite salsa song in the comments - I’m looking for suggestions 😊 #SalsaFootwork #MamboShines #DanceTechnique #DanceCommunity #CurlyHairModel

I’m learning that I actually enjoy freestyling to songs I that make me feel happy. Finding connection to the music is half the fun! #CurlyHairModel #SalsaFootwork #MamboShines #DanceTechnique #DanceCommunity

I might make this week freestyle week. Still not in the mood to prepare choreo just I’m making up the steps as I hear the music. Feel free to jam along. #SalsaShines #DanceCover #ModelOffDuty #FootworkVariations #CurlyHairModel

I’m in a phase right now where my brain is tired of memorizing Choreo so I’m just dancing for the fun of it, and surprise surprise, I am finding it to be fun! ##SalsaDance##DanceCover##ModelOffDuty##FootworkVariations##CurlyHairModel

I’ve been working on follow’s arm styling for the new routine. It’s not as easy as it looks. Though it looks flowy and light, placing your arms with intention and strength while making it look flowy is actually very difficult. #SalsaDrills #DanceCover #ModelOffDuty #ArmStyling #CurlyHairModel

Running it back with Ogee #OgeePartner #MakeupTutorial #ModelOffDuty #FootworkVariations #CurlyHairModel

Unscripted playing around with musicality because I like this song #CurlyHairModel #SalsaFootwork #MamboShines #DanceTechnique #DanceCommunity

Free dancing and testing steps that aren’t usually my go-tos #SalsaDrills #DanceCover #ModelOffDuty #FootworkVariations #CurlyHairModel

Four variations of the Susie Q step. Leaving the mistakes in here because dance was not created for perfection, it should to be fun. #S#SusieQS#SalsaFootworkM#MamboShinesC#CurlyHairModel#D#DanceCommunity

A little cha cha

Calling all dancers!! Asking fellow dancers for their favorite drills to prevent arms from collapsing toward the torso. #MamboTechnique #ModelOffDuty #DanceDrills #FrameWork #CurlyHairModel

Watching pros dance is one of my favorite things about festivals

Perspective forged through adversity. A reflection on health, resilience, and choosing strength every day after cancer. #SurvivorMindset #LifePerspective #ModelOffDuty #PersonalGrowth #CurlyHairModel

Evening scent profile featuring Burberry Her as the choice for tonight. The blend of dark berry notes and warm amber gives it a soft, sophisticated trail that wears effortlessly through the night. @Burberry #BurberryHer #FragranceOfTheNight #ScentProfile #LuxuryFragrance #CurlyHairModel

A little shoe try on and window shopping #ShoeReview #ModelOffDuty #TryOnHaul #FootwearStyle #CurlyHairModel

New cute set by my good friend Tipz by Smrtiz! I clearly chose the wrong nail sizes 😅 but she killed this set regardless #PressOns #AtHomeNails #NailArt #CurlyHairModel #PressOnSet

A look back at everything our mambo partner work team put onto the stage this season. Months of partner synchronization, connection drills, and cleaning every frame of choreography led up to these performance moments. #SalsaPartnerwork #MamboOn2 #ModelOffDuty #StageSync #CurlyHairModel

Love the shine on stage, but the sound is a different story. Bedazzled dancing shoes look incredible under performance lights, but the clicking and clattering noise during footwork drills takes some getting used to. #SalsaHeels #ModelOffDuty #DanceFootwear #SparkleInMotion #CurlyHairModel

Performance highlights in motion. Capturing stage energy, choreography execution, and team sync across multiple shows. #DanceHighlights #MamboPerformance #ModelOffDuty #StagePresence #CurlyHairModel

Back with another mambo shines combination inspired by the same creator from earlier this week. Studying their phrasing and footwork mechanics has been incredible. #MamboShines #DanceInspiration #SalsaFootwork #SalsaOn2 #CurlyHairModel
