Monica, “La Flaca,” Benigno is clearly a new rising star and innovative instructor who joined the salsa scene in January of 06. Monica is known for her virtually effortless multiple spins, electric footwork, and arm styling on social dance floors and in her workshops and group classes. Her intense attention to detail and fixation to become a great dancer caught the watchful eye of master instructor Dawn Timperly of Salserodalante Productions early in her career, pushing her to take her love of dance to new heights.
Her explosive style is a pleasure to watch and experience, and her positive energy accompanies her presence both on and off the dance floor all night. She has taught many ladies how to develop confidence in their dance through her complex footwork, spin techniques and flavorful body movement. Her greatest attribute as an instructor is her ability to give each of her students a unique, and often laughable, learning experience in a fun social environment.
Her imagination in creating shines and styling for ladies is heightened by her ability to modify intense body, arm & foot movements to suit each and every lady who walks through her doors for group and private lessons.
Inspired by actress Vanessa Williams in latin dance film, “Dance With Me,” as a little girl, she always spoke about one day learning to dance. But it wasn’t until one night in 2006, when she happened to unintentionally walk in on a group salsa lesson at a nightclub in Omaha, NE, that she actually took that first step.
It was from that day on that she diligently attended weekly group classes, even throughout an entire pregnancy, and has not left the dance floor since. After nearly two years of intense training with World Class Instructor Blandon, “Salserodalante,” Joiner, she earned her spot as the voice of the “Midwest Salsa Empire!” Now she is teaching her own ladies styling classes along with private lessons and continues to share her passion with all those who are willing to learn.
Trainers include Dawn Timperly; Al, “Liquid Silver”, Espinoza; Troy Anthony & Jorget Alocer; Darlin Garcia & Vera Rowe; Luis Aguilar & Anya Katsevman; Kenny Del Toro; Demonte Alexander; Marivya Omeilcheva; Kimberly Rivera; Elvis Collado; & Josh Hernandez.
