ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
A Salsa Bachata and Kizomba Podcast for all things empowerment in SBK latin dancing! TED Podcast is a space for different voices in our dance scene to be celebrated and have conversations that matter in order to promote more understanding, accountability and responsibility in our dance scene through the value we share with listeners. Creating safer spaces, building confidence, setting boundaries, respecting culture, whether you dance salsa, bachata, kizomba or all three, on this podcast we hear from dancers with all sorts of backgrounds and interests - teachers, organisers, DJs and social dancers alike - every dancer has a story to tell, be it through events, lessons, teaching, organising, socials, friendships, dating, support, abuse, power. Whether you have been dancing for 20 minutes or 20 years, we all deserve to dance on our own terms, and shine our own light.

“Why didn’t she report it to the police?” “This is not my problem, this belongs with the police.” We are hearing these comments in the salsa, bachata and kizomba spaces, where people are speaking from a point of little understanding of being a victim or survivor (and that’s great!) or little unders…
Raised to be aware of your privilege as a man in the SBK scene is not something many men can reflectively say. Cameron Holden gives us a look at the salsa, bachata and kizomba scene through a self-aware lens - the male privilege that is present and prevalent in our scene - from the attitude toward…
Fuelled by the rise of social media, bachata has developed a very “cookie cutter” image. Hollywood slim, skin and sparkle is the heteronormative assumed default image of our teachers.
