About Karel Flores:
Born into a family of artists in Mexico, Karel started her career acting in telenovelas, Spanish language soap operas. Since very young she had a strong calling for the arts and dancing, always participating in dance teams in school, from jazz to Hawaiian dancing to cheerleading. As a teenager Karel received a unique invitation to train with one of the best salsa companies in the world Yamuleé Dance Company. Without hesitation and all on her own, Karel packed her bags, moved to New York City and soon became their principal female dancer. After eight years of performing and teaching for Yamuleé Dance Company, Karel struck out on her own as a solo artist.
As a solo salsa artist, Karel has performed and taught in over 60 countries on 6 continents and has served as a judge for every major salsa competition globally.
