EDGAR AND YOLANDA – THE ROYALS OF BOLERO

The month of October 2017 has been busy for many non-professional dancers in Cali, Colombia. It’s the month of the auditions for the Salsódromo – the country’s biggest salsa parade, taking place each year on the 25th of December. This year the theme of the parade are the 60s and 70s, and the prevailing dances are son and bolero. In Arrebato Caleño, we had the honor to be taught these dances by Edgar and Yolanda – the King and Queen of Bolero (Los Reyes Del Bolero).

CYCLING IN LATIN AMERICA

In November 2015, I set out to explore the vast and diverse realities of Latin America, and to question the persistent stereotypes of crime and violence in this region. I decided to do this by cycling first through South America (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia from 2015-2017), then through Central America from May 2018. Through local women, I have become more and more involved in female empowerment and tackling male supremacy on this beautiful continent I now call home.
