026 Sip & Chat: Alex Morel
Welcome back to LNXdance with your Co-Hosts, Marcus & Mari! We are honored to open up Hispanic/Latine Heritage Month with the remarkable Alex Morel. You may have spotted him during his VMA performance with the one-and-only Karol G!

“Music can make you go through a range of so many different emotions – sadness, excitement, melancholy, love...it’s beautiful.” -Alex M.
Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Alex Morel is known for his musical style and flavor on the dance floor.
In 2005, Alex began lessons with renowned instructor, choreographer, and director of Caribbean Soul Dance Co. Ismael Otero – also known as the “Million Moves Man”. With the help of both instructors Shani Talmor and Ismael Otero, Alex was able to grow both musically and technically.
Today, Alex is also known for his unique and creative touch of Traditional-style Bachata. Once he began creating his own set of moves and footwork, others began to notice how much fun and exciting it could be to dance Bachata. Alex would bring the music to life by playing with virtually every beat of the music and showcasing stylish moves matched with flavor and technique.
Alex has now taken his Bachata to another level and shares his repertoire of “Killer Moves” with dancers from around the globe. His very first DVD Bachata Fundamentals and Killer Moves was released in the summer of 2010 and has gained positive reviews from both dancers and instructors. He's taught and performed throughout the United States and internationally, including Canada, China, Germany, Israel, Portugal, Spain, France, and the Dominican Republic, to name a few. Alex hopes to help and inspire other Bachata dancers through his classes, workshops, and social dancing. He also aims to continue bringing Bachata to new heights with his dance partner, Desiree Godsell, through their unique flair, smooth-elegant style, and abundant flavor.

Instagram: lourdesdelmar_
Puerto Rican movement artist, Lourdes del Mar Santiago Lebrón, is committed to creating immersive artistic explorations that provoke curiosity, heighten sensory awareness, and demand attention.

A graduate of the Peabody Conservatory at Johns Hopkins University, they are currently pursuing an MFA at Washington University in St. Louis. Their research at Washington University in St. Louis includes but is not limited to, dance on the body of the Puerto Rican and the histories, lineages, and politics that inform Puerto Rican dance encounters. The research largely considers national identity as a topic of discussion questioning the diaspora, the nation’s sovereignty, nationalism, and art as activism.
They are the recipient of the 2024/2025 RADicle Croft Residency and Artist-in-Residence at the Tyson Research Center in the Spring of 2024. They will present an in-progress research essay, "Cuir (Queer) Reggaetón and the Call for Cuir (Queer) Embodied Puerto Rican Identity," at this year’s Dance Studies Association conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Their piece a meating , choreographed with Tess Losada Miner, was recently performed at the Fifth Biennial Graduate Student Art History Symposium Making Contact: Haptic, Temporal, Spatial, and Conceptual Connections. In 2023, their piece Un recuerdo del presente was commissioned to be performed at SUMMIT: THROUGH HER RISE at the University of Michigan Department of Dance through a cross-campus partnership between the U-M Museum of Art, the U-M Arts Initiative, and the College of LSA.
