About Karel Flores Karel Flores is a dancer, choreographer, competition judge, instructor and the founder of Karel Flores World, a global dance franchise consisting of salsa dance teams across the United States, South America, Europe and Asia, aiming to empower women through dance. 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.

After eight years of performing and teaching for Yamuleé Dance Company, Karel struck out on her own as a solo artist.
