She took more courses on contemporary dance, ground and aerial ecrobatics, etc. She gave hip-hop, latin and kizomba classes, while also working as a dancer for video spots and TV programs. She started Kizomba in late 2009 dancing in a show with Albir Rojas and competing in the qualifying rounds of the Africadançar contest in Madrid.  They were selected to represent Spain in the Africadancar international championship and earned second place in the 2010 event.
