THE DEAD DANCE – UNDERWATER 😈 ladygaga 
⠀
To complete this choreography, I had to dive into the Halloween spirit and channel emotions in a darker, horror-inspired way. 👻
⠀
wednesdaynetflix is back with a new dance, and coreybakerdance is pure genius — the spooky choreography is amazing! 🖤✨
⠀
The dress I wore made the performance even more challenging — it kept floating around my face like a larynx, constantly covering me as I moved underwater. 🌊💃 timburton

Wellness rewind 🌿✨
⠀
I’d love to hear from you — what does wellness look like in your life? Which procedures do you do or daily habits keep you balanced?
⠀
My time at  amritocean  was all about balance: mindful practices, nourishing food, fitness, rest, and deep relaxation.
⠀
I also experienced:
🔸hyperbaric oxygen therapy
🔸red light therapy
🔸Somadome
🔸dry floating therapy
🔸PEMF MAT
⠀
And a high-draw thermal experience at their spa — each moment felt like a true reset for both body and mind. I’m so grateful to share this journey of renewal with you. palmbeachesfl

Me, cows, the Alps... 🐄🇨🇭🧀and cheese everywhere I look.
⠀
Swipe → to see me survive Switzerland without tripping... too much 🏔️😅
⠀
Zurich’s charming streets, Interlaken’s sparkling lakes, Lauterbrunnen’s waterfalls, Wengen’s peaks, Männlichen’s skies, and the endless Alps — I saw it all, stumbled a bit, took way too many photos, and maybe annoyed a few cows along the way.
Cable cars, chocolate stops, and of course, cheese indulgences included - just me surviving Switzerland, one slightly clumsy (but delicious) step at a time.
⠀

MOONWALK UNDERWATER 💧🎩 Happy Birthday to the KING 👑 of POP! michaeljackson 
⠀
It all started when MJ inspired me to create the upside-down Moonwalk. I rewatched all his music videos—not just to learn his moves, but to study his expressions and artistry. His style feels close to mine: flexible, artistic, and full of bold movements.
⠀
The first time MJ performed the Moonwalk was at the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever special—taped live at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on March 25, 1983 and broadcast on May 16, 1983. That unforgettable “Billie Jean” performance changed dance history forever.
⠀
I still remember when I first did my underwater Moonwalk — that reel was featured on Good Morning America and went viral worldwide. That moment sparked my journey to create more underwater dance. 🌊✨
⠀
Now, I’m pushing myself again. In a full suit, I moonwalked on the pool floor, flipped to the surface, and kept my heels perfectly underwater in a 12-foot pool. Not easy, but MJ’s legacy keeps inspiring me to go beyond limits.
⠀
Because I believe: underwater, anything is possible.
⠀
So… how did I do? 👀
👉 Share this reel to celebrate the King of Pop’s legacy! 🎩🔥

🌴 Making a splash—and soaking up unforgettable memories with my Mom 26marina2 at southseasresort

Thank you, South Seas southseasresort 🌊, for an epic getaway. What a joy to return to this coastal gem, rebuilt stronger after the hurricane and brimming with new adventures—from pristine beaches and a scenic golf course to endless family-friendly thrills.

I had so much fun there

SASSY WALK ON WATER - in HEELS 👠 💦
⠀
ROTATE YOUR PHONE 📱🔃 TO SEE ORIGINAL VIDEO
⠀
💃🏼 I’m the first woman in the world to walk on water in heels — and I brought the whole feminine vibe with me: dresses, hats, and all the accessories that made it iconic.
⠀
It takes years to perfect the balance and buoyancy so my heels don’t break the surface and I don’t sink. I fine-tune the air in my lungs like a volume dial: about 25–30% for walking or moonwalking on water, and 80% if I’m dancing at the bottom. That’s how you glide above… without ending up below

💦 Flat Split on Water — Watch me defy gravity from the inside out.

This isn’t just flexibility — it’s power, precision, and deep muscle engagement.

To create a flat split on the surface of the water, I begin from within.
First, I activate my front hip flexors and hamstrings, pulling my legs apart through pure strength.

I squeeze my glutes, push my hips forward, and use my lower back to stay controlled and aligned.

About 80% of the split you see happens through muscle activation alone — no pushing, no forcing, just mind-muscle connection.

The final 20%, where my legs reach the surface without breaking it, is where flexibility meets control.

It’s a dance between strength and grace —
and water becomes the stage. #underwater #underwaterdance #underwaterworld #underwatervideo #underwaterlife #pool #flexibility #gymnastics 2025-07-31 21:56:17 💦 Flat S.. 3,572 -20% 183 +0%
Underwater Ballet 🩰💦
⠀
A vision I’ve held for years - finally brought to life in the sacred, still waters of this deep blue cenote.
Chukum is more than just a place — it’s a hidden world. A natural stage carved in stone, lit by sky and silence. The moment I descended, time seemed to slow, and movement became ritual.
⠀
Captured by the incredible
emilia.blackbox - your intuitive eye and seamless communication made this flow effortlessly.
You followed my breath, my rhythm, and instinctively knew when to capture each pulse of motion. Forever grateful.
⠀
And thank you cenote_chukum for the warm welcome and for opening your magical space to me.
⠀
The water was icy cold. My lungs tightened. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.
But the cenote held me. It quieted all thought.
And in that stillness... I surrendered.
The vision I had carried for so long was finally set free - in motion, underwater, real.

Walking on invisible steps - UNDERWATER 💦👠
A slow stairway to the surface — as if rising through water on something that isn’t really there.
⠀
✨ It took me almost two hours to get each step just right.
To make my foot 🦶 land as if it’s touching a real stair,
while keeping the last one frozen in space — without ruining the illusion.
⠀
Every movement had to be intentional.
In water, even the smallest drift can break the magic.
⠀
But once it worked… it felt surreal.

The secret is out… I choreographed the world’s first underwater dance with wild sharks. 🦈🩰 🌊 
⠀
Swipe to see how Dancing with the Sharks on discovery came to life — from land rehearsals to deep water movement with tiger, hammerhead, and lemon sharks in the Bahamas 🇧🇸 
⠀
For the first time ever, Discovery Channel launched a fully choreographed underwater performance with real, wild sharks — and I was honored to be the choreographer behind it all.
⠀
It was also my privilege to work alongside the legendary tombergeron , who hosted Dancing with the Sharks and is known for so many iconic TV shows. He’s an amazing person — warm, supportive, and so fun to work with.
⠀
Now that it’s finally aired for Shark Week sharkweek , I can share:
⠀
🩰 I trained five professional shark feeders and divers to perform underwater — not just swim, but dance.

🌊 We practiced and performed in Bimini, Bahamas, surrounded by tiger sharks, hammerheads, and lemon sharks — no cages, no tricks, just open water.
⠀
📺 The show is called Dancing with the Sharks — and now streaming on Discovery Channel.
⠀
It was a once-in-a-lifetime challenge to turn expert divers into underwater performers — moving with precision, rhythm, and grace in the middle of the ocean.
⠀

Morocco 🇲🇦 — swipe to see more 👉🏼 📸
⠀
Visiting Morocco has been on my bucket list ever since I kept seeing all those colorful reels and dreamy posts online — and I made it my birthday goal to finally go! 🎉
⠀
This country is truly magical. The rich history, vibrant culture, and surreal landscapes blew my mind.
⠀
Aït Ben Haddou felt like stepping into a movie — literally! So many iconic films were shot there: Gladiator, Game of Thrones, The Mummy…
⠀
The YSL Museum & Gardens were another highlight. Those bold colors — deep blues, sunny yellows — felt like a painting come to life.
⠀
Before this trip, I had never even heard of riads, and now I’m obsessed! The mosaic-tiled pools and hidden courtyards are like secret little oases.
⠀
And the rooftops… I’m such a rooftop girl, and here they’re everywhere. Sunset views, mint tea, and the sound of the call to prayer in the distance — pure magic.
⠀
Wandering the souks, endless spice markets, and sipping Bacha Coffee from beans sourced all over the world made every moment unforgettable.
⠀
Morocco, you truly stole my heart 💙

Heart pounding, legs trembling — but I stayed on. 🐎💥
⠀
My first time riding a horse was on a beach in Essaouira, Morocco 🇲🇦 
⠀
Just sitting on it was terrifying — every move made me feel like I’d fall. Maybe it was the aftermath of my ACL surgery; mentally, I just couldn’t trust my body or connect with the horse’s rhythm.
⠀
Huge shoutout to the patient horse owner cheval__essaouira who stayed calm with me through all my nerves. Because of him, I got this incredible moment captured — the horse REARING UP 180 degrees, and me still holding on tight. Then we galloped along the shore, wind and waves rushing past 🌊
⠀
What felt impossible turned into one of my most unforgettable adventures. Thank you cheval__essaouira for dealing with me 🤣

I just wrapped an unforgettable campaign with Marina Bay Sands, where I had the incredible opportunity to work as an underwater dancer and model.

To bring the vision to life, the team did something truly rare — they blocked off half of the infinity pool to capture this shot. It was surreal.

Flying in from Miami for this project, I was honored to collaborate with such a world-renowned luxury brand marinabaysands . Merging underwater movement with cinematic storytelling in a setting like this is exactly what I’m most passionate about.
