A STORY OF CULTURAL RECLAIMING THROUGH DANCE

As a New York-born Puerto Rican, Rodney grew up with English as his primary language and felt the shame of not being “Puerto Rican enough” as a result of his difficulty with Spanish. While wrestling with questions of identity and belonging, it was through dancing Salsa that he found a powerful way to reconnect to Puerto Rican culture. With humor, vulnerability, and rhythm, Rodney shares how dance became a language of its own: one that transcended words and helped him reclaim his Latino identity.
