Some of these styles include ballet, contemporary, jazz, modern, flamenco, cuban folklore and, of course, all latin styles and afro-cuban as well as gymnastics. Not only she trained as a dancer but also she graduated as a trained instructor. After graduating, she worked at the Olga Alonso Dance studio in Cuba teaching latin dance and afro-cuban styles. At the age of nineteen she arrived to the United States hoping to make her dreams come true. While in Miami, she partnered up with Nelson Gaston Vidarte with who she obtained several recognitions and won the World Salsa Federation Championship 2004 in two different divisions.

Alien, in her short career as a dancer, has worked as a dancer for several television shows, video clips, TV commercials and as an assistant choreographer for the TV show “So you think you can dance” (2005 to present). In addition, she teaches and conducts workshops in recognized night clubs like The Mayan, Mama Juanas, Tapas, Cocomo (San Francisco) and also in Mexico, Germany, Colombia, Austria and many more. These days, Alien is one of the most important figures in the salsa scene. She is the director of Rumba Son y Mas and Tropidanza dance team.
