In 2012 she was cast in Bailando 2012 with amputee salsa dancer, Reinaldo Ojeda as her dance partner. Gala after gala tension between Archimó and Ojeda was noticed and was exploited when Archimó was replaced in the fifth round by Guerrero because she had to travel and Ojeda admitted that he was more comfort with Adabel then with Valeria. Valeria returned for the next gala, where she confronted Ojeda after they performed and later on in the media where she decided to quit, being permanently replaced by Guerrero.
In 2021 she returned with Jonathan Lazarte to Showmatch: The Academy but as a replacement for Angela Leiva, who suffered bodily stress. She was only on one gala, pole dance.
