career as a dancer began with her training at the Escuela Vocional de Arte, which was a great privilege. After completing her six-year program, Yahima was hired by the Ballet Folcl\u00f3rico de Oriente, the oldest folklore dance company in Cuba. There, she was a permanent member for five years and passed the exam to become a Primera Bailerina Solista (principal solo dancer).  <\/p>\n<p>In addition to her work at the Folcl\u00f3rico, she taught and trained a group of young people and was a member of the Rueda de Casino group \u201cCasino Punto Com,\u201d where she danced for a year. During this time, she also began teaching tourists. <\/p>\n<p>During this time, she had the opportunity to teach in France in 2009, and from then on was repeatedly booked as a dancer and dance instructor for numerous festivals in Germany, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. <\/p>\n<p>In addition, Yahima spent several years touring as a dancer with the group Fclan Entertainment for many show performances in Serbia, Austria, Poland, France, and Germany. <\/p>\n<p>Yahima has been part of the momento cubano team since 2021, and we are thrilled to have her among us as one of the most spirited and humorous ambassadors of Cuban salsa and Cuban culture.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!--

Cubano, the art of dance is taught with a particularly authentic approach. The atmosphere and the teachers\u2019 demeanor simply drew me to this dance school. I watched a lot of dance videos featuring Ibert and his team, and the vibe just clicked. <\/p>\n<p>My passion for Latin American rhythms began when I was 13, when I discovered the song \u201cObsesi\u00f3n.\u201d What I love about dancing is moving to the music and blocking out everything else\u2014it gives me a sense of freedom and makes me happy. I let the music guide me completely and dance intuitively. Like many in my generation, I draw inspiration from social media content.   <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been part of the momento cubano team since early 2024, developing my teaching skills as a classroom assistant, and I\u2019m especially eager to support beginners as they take their first steps into the world of dance.<\/p><\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n

Her dance journey began while she was living in South America for an extended period and led her through line salsa, bachata, and urban styles like hip-hop and street jazz, eventually bringing her to Salsa Cubana. After spending a long time enjoying Cuban social dance events, she began further honing her skills in the Cuban style through regular lessons in 2023.
