Some of the big questions… How can you maintain boundaries in a dance? Why is it so hard to say “no” to a dance? What are teachers actually thinking in lessons? The salsa, bachata and kizomba space is a special one. It’s one where lifelong friendships begin, where people discover a passion, where community becomes family. That’s not to say it doesn’t have a dark side: Everything and everyone does, if you ask me. And just like in everyday life, women in particular end up feeling like they need to bend to power structures, even avoid certain spaces to keep themselves safe. I have spent the past few years learning in the empowerment space and on this podcast, I share what I have learnt and am still learning through meaningful conversations on all aspects of dancing: the highs and the lows: events, lessons, teaching, socials, organising, friendships, dating, support, abuse, power. We all deserve to dance on our own terms, and shine our own light.
