AFRO-LATIN SA SUGBO | TEASER VIDEO

The last two weeks of July were intense and yet amazing! It was when our event AFRO-LATIN BAILE SA SUGBO came to a realization.

As some of you know, I started dancing Afro-Latin last year! And from there, my life was added with more meaning, joy, and purpose. Dancing became an outlet for my creative energy. Apart from that, a lot of healing within me happened.

I learned the Bachata first and graduated with the 3 level courses offered by the V9 dance studio. After which, I then enrolled in Kizomba classes. However, my dance coach decided to close her studio. I thought everything was lost but after a few months, she decided to open classes one last time and hold an event as a final farewell celebration.

Thus, the AFRO-LATIN BAILE SA SUGBO was organized. It was a 3-day event. A culmination of our dance learnings. However, it became more than that. It became an event to unite Afro-Latin Teachers and Dancers from all over the country. These teachers held workshops for Bachata, Kizomba, Zouk, and Argentine Tango! We also had 3 nights of social dancing! And to be honest, I was ecstatic to be able to meet teachers and dancers from other parts of the country. I was extremely happy to be able to dance with different male leads with unique dance styles. With that, I learned a lot and became a better dancer as well.

This video is only a teaser of the last day of our event and yet showcases the amazing talent, vibes, and energy from the Afro-Latin Teachers, Students, and Dancers! I will share more stories and videos in the upcoming days to come.

Once again, this wouldn't be possible if it weren't for Hive!
