Yamna Carolina Lobos Astorga (born February 26, 1983) is a famous Chilean dancer, television host, and actress. She is well-known for her amazing dance moves and her work on TV shows.

Early Life and Dance Beginnings

Yamna Lobos started dancing when she was a child. From ages 10 to 15, she danced with the Ballet Folclórico de Chile (BAFOCHI). This was a special time for her. She traveled all over the world with the ballet group. Yamna visited many countries, including France, Germany, Australia, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, Spain, and Israel.

Yamna's TV Career

Starting in Television

In 2000, Yamna began her career in television. She joined the show "Generation 2000" on Channel 13. The next year, in 2001, she moved to the "Team Mekano" on Mega.

Becoming Famous on Rojo

A year later, Yamna joined the TV show Rojo fama contrafama on TVN. This is where she became very popular. She reached third place in the first group of artists on the show. Yamna was the only girl among the top finalists. She then became a regular dancer on the show, joining a group called the "Clan Rojo."

In 2005, Yamna Lobos was voted the most popular person from the Rojo show ever! She won with 47,330 votes from the public. This was more than double the votes of the second-place winner.

Music and Other TV Shows

In 2005, Yamna Lobos and another dancer, Maura Rivera, recorded a song. It was a cover of "La Cocotera." This song was very popular that summer. They even earned a gold disc for it!

That same year, Yamna had her own part on the TVN show "Noche de Juegos." Her section was called "The Department of Yamna Lobos." It was a hidden camera segment.

Queen of Festivals

In September 2006, Yamna Lobos was chosen as the Queen of the Pampilla Festival. She won over the voters with her fun campaign. She had concerts and other activities. Yamna was crowned queen with over 13,700 votes from the public.

In 2007, she traveled internationally again with some members of the "Clan Rojo." They went to Miami and Australia. In Miami, she trained to become a Zumba instructor. She also filmed videos for Mexico to teach Zumba dance moves.

At the end of 2007, Yamna left Rojo fama contrafama. This made room for new dancers on the show.

In early 2008, she was a candidate for queen of the "Festival de la leche y la carne" in Osorno. She won and was crowned queen with almost double the votes of the second-place candidate.

New Channels and Music

In April 2008, Yamna signed a contract with Chilevisión. She appeared on shows like "Teatro en Chilevisión," "Sin Verguenza," and "Yingo." On "Yingo," she was a judge and performed music. In October 2008, she released her song, "Acercate a Mí." It was part of the show's second official CD.

On June 24, 2010, Yamna left "Yingo." She didn't feel comfortable being a judge. She didn't like having arguments with her co-workers. However, she still appeared in the TV series "Don Diablo."

Hosting Shows

After leaving "Yingo," Yamna was hired by the cable TV channel Bang TV. She became the host of two shows. On "Danz," she taught dance steps and talked about different music styles. On "Soundtrax," she interviewed guests and discussed urban music. She made her first appearance on Bang TV on August 9, 2010.

In 2012, she finished hosting "Danz." She then co-hosted another urban music show called "Todo suena" on Bang TV with Simoney Romero. On January 9, she also appeared on the program Body Paint.
