Mai-Lin Brach

Hi there!

My name is Mai-Lin. My dance journey and love for dance started many years ago with dabbling in ballroom, country 2 step and line dancing. My love for Latin dance was ignited when I saw Ronald Martinez perform at Folkfest Victoria. Latin music just makes my body want to move and I feel such joy in the rhythm and sound.

I started learning partner dancing in the genres of salsa and bachata and have expanded to kizomba, Brasilian lambada zouk and lambada. I feel any form of dance improves our movement, connection to our partner, music and ourselves, vocabulary, confidence and is just fun! Recently I started taking classes in contemporary and have added ballet this year… new and challenging learning experiences.

I am very grateful for the dance community, countless devoted, skilled teachers I have had the privilege to take classes from and all the beautiful experiences dance has given me over the years… my life has changed and improved immensely. Over the years I have met so many precious friends from different countries, and developed close connections with them. Dance has fulfilled so much love in my heart.

I’m glad to be part of the VLDA team to help grow our local dance community in our beautiful city of Victoria.
