Originally from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Isabel has been training and dancing New York Salsa since 2005. Isabel trained under the Cobo Brothers Dance Company in North Carolina for seven years, traveling the world teaching and performing. In 2013 Isabel moved to New York City to pursue a solo career and to deepen her study of New York Salsa, Afro-Caribbean dances, partnered acrobatics, as well dabbling in styles such as heels, modern, and contemporary dance. She prides herself on continuing to prioritize her own training and learning. Since living in New York City, Isabel has made a name for herself through different partnerships, teams and solo as well, traveling to teach and perform at Latin Dance congresses all over the world. She was the sole director/owner of her own student team Isa Dance Project that continued to grow and improve for six years in NYC.

Isabel has recently shifted her focus slightly away from the global congress scene to pursue a career in dance theater in NYC.
She has been working with Variety Life Productions LLC as a dancer, actor, and costume designer. Isabel performed the lead role of Carmen in the hit immersive theater show called "Carmen, To Havana and Back.” She also participated in the immersive theater show, “Midsummer, A Shakespearience” as a dancer, actor and as lead costume designer.

Isabel is a dedicated instructor, continuously perusing the growth of her own knowledge and refining her pedagogy. She is committed to the growth of her students while sharing the rich historical and cultural roots of the various Latin Dances as we know them today.
