Now that the global pandemic made TikTok dances an official thing we decided to spend some (even more) time scrolling through to find the best newly minted Latina creators.

We found 7 Latina creators who are inspiring our two left feet (yes, not all Latinas were born with rhythm). Dancing, or the attempting thereof, has all kinds of added health benefits. From decreasing your blood pressure to improving your mental health, we should be dancing, like ahora mismo.

Do you guys remember Bring It On: All or Nothing? It's a must-watch! And if you do, you probably remember the talented @franciaraisa. Finding her on TikTok filled us with serious nostalgia. Not to be cheesy, but she still brings it on. ;)

I swear Latinx talent on TikTok is endless. We are so happy to see the community thriving on this platform. Please, let us know who else we should add, we will happily go look at their feed, we clearly love mindlessly scrolling through our FYP.
