January 31, 2023 Episode 3 - Kimberly Ramos & Geovanny Ricardo
In this episode we interview two pillars of our home dance scene in Toronto from the Araguacu Latin Dance Company. They co-founded the company in 2013 which specializes in Dominican Bachata, Salsa on 2 and Mambo. They are known for their incredible technique, body movement, and pure flavour when they dance. They had a very successful social called Dame Tu bachata for over 4 years here in Toronto and have achieved all of their successes through pure blood sweat and tears and they will not be outworked. We were so inspired listening to their story and cannot wait to see what the future holds for them.

February 18, 2021 Episode 13 - Alien Ramirez
In this episode we talk to Alien Ramirez, a 24 time world latin dance champion from Bayamo, Cuba. She comes from a family of musicians, composers, and self-proclaimed “dreamers”. She started taking lessons in ballet, singing, gymnastics, flamenco and cuban folk dance at 4 years old.
In her early twenties, she moved to LA and worked with renowned dancers like Alex Da Silva and Grizzly Hidriago and has choreographed for tv shows like so you think you can dance. Unfortunately, this partnership ended after Alex was convicted of a sex crime and Alien found herself lacking the same recognition on her own. After this, she made the decision to develop a career as a solo dancer so she wouldn’t find herself as dependent on another partner in the future.
She has danced and taught all over the world but above her many accolades and achievements, she really values time with daughter and family.

January 10, 2021 Episode 12 - Rodrigo Cortázar
In this episode we interview Rodrigo Cortazar who one of the most life-loving, open, humble, and hilarious people we’ve spoken to yet! He is a natural storyteller and shared about his musical training in a conservatory, his deep respect and appreciation for other artists, and his love for art in general.
Some of the life lessons we learned from Rodrigo during this interview are that you need to believe in your own dreams because no one else will, you have the power to create your own joy, and that without taking risks, there are no rewards. He made us laugh and cry, and he is a testament of what can happen when you are willing to believe in yourself and work hard to achieve your goals.

In this episode we talk to Francisco Garcia, aka Dj Sisco who is a key member of the dance community in Toronto. He has been Dj-ing for over 12 years and he was part of the mastermind group that created the extremely successful, and dearly missed event Dame Tu Bachata. Before the pandemic started, him and his business partners started a new salsa event in Toronto called Tumbao! We are so glad and grateful that we had the opportunity to experience such an amazing event before the lockdown.
He is incredibly passionate about music and is dedicated to keeping the art of vinyl alive. His music collection is carefully curated and he is always supporting new artists and discovering new music. He is very encouraging of new talent (us included) and is dedicated to sharing his knowledge to help the new generation thrive. Speaking to him reminded us why we started the podcast, how much we miss dancing, and how lucky we are to live in a city where the community is so strong, vibrant and diverse.
