About Desley

Having grown up in a house filled with musical instruments, music became the focus of Desley’s life. She began dancing at an early age and was involved in various performances during her teens. Desley discovered Latin dance after a severe knee injury, and she’s never looked back. For the past 5 years Desley has devoted herself to Latin dance, including Salsa (Cuban, On1, On2, and Rueda), Lambada, Zouk, Bolero, Tango and Gafieira Samba. After performing in the Rio Carnival in 2004, she returned to Brazil to further study Latin dance in 2006.

“Music is my oxygen. Dancing allows me to breathe.”

Desley looooves Cadbury chocolate and all sorts of music, and enjoys walking and travel.
