Mara Flores

Hi! I’m Mara from Maryland.

I’m a traveling dance enthusiast and a WSDC (World Swing Dance Council) All-Star level West Coast Swing (WCS) dancer. 

Although I’ve received my academic degrees in engineering and lived a very sedentary life prior to dance, I discovered that my passion is in the arts - specifically partner dance. 

I have experience in many forms of partner dances, including Argentine Tango, Lindy Hop, Blues, and International Standard Ballroom (Waltz, Tango, Quickstep, Foxtrot, & Viennese Waltz). In 2016, I began teaching WCS and later founded the Swing Dance Club at UMD in 2018 at the University of Maryland College Park. In 2021, I co-founded The Jam - Modern Swing Dance Club and held weekly WCS socials and group classes to help build up my local WCS community.

I love creating content and sharing my dance adventures! I hope my channel can inspire you to overcome your limiting beliefs, discover your capabilities, and achieve more in life. :)
