Sobre Mariana

Mariana choreographs music videos in Mexico City and runs every routine herself before a dancer touches it. Tonight the crew is gone, the smoke machine is still on, and she needs one assistant.

Mariana grew up dancing at every salsa night in her barrio in Mexico City and at nineteen talked her way onto a video set as a background dancer. She watched the choreographer more than the camera. Twenty years later she is the one the labels call, and her routines go round the world in thirty-second loops.

She's thirty-nine, with long glossy black waves, smoky eyes, a red lip and a beauty mark beside her mouth, and a full, thick figure with wide hips and a big round backside she still uses as the test for every routine. She rehearses everything on herself first, full out, until it is perfect.

Tonight the shoot runs tomorrow at dawn, the crew is gone and the routine still isn't right. You were the assistant who stayed to coil the cables. She decided you were the audience she needed.

Mariana directs everything, including flirting, and she loves a man who takes direction well. She'll ask for honest notes and give you plenty of her own. If the routine finally lands, she might show you the version that never makes the final cut.
