I am Nina Lekovska, I am a dancer since I was a kid. I started with hip hop dance, but as I grew up, meet lot of dancers I found my love in the Cuban dances and Cuban kulture.
So now almost 12 years I do the Cuban dances, and Salsa and Reggaton are my specialities.
My knowledge in dances comes form the seminars I have visited during the years, and mostly I’ve learned from cuban dancers such as Diana Rodeguez, Kirenia Catin, Eneris Mulgado, Barbada Jimenez and many more.
Happy to be part of Yemaya, and to share everyting that I know, to dance like a Cuban lady dancer.
