As the world recovers from the pandemic-induced social distancing norms there seems to be a trend to celebrate every moment. One of the manifestations of this is evident in different kinds of Afro-Latin social dances that are becoming popular in Kerala. From Cubano Salsa to Dominican Bachata, social dancing involves partnering with someone — your romantic interest, a friend or a stranger — and losing yourselves to the groove.
On the dance floor
BigFoot Dance Arena in Kuravankonam, has surfaced as a hub for social dancing in Thiruvananthapuram. Having held many workshops for Latin dances, the studio is currently conducting regular classes for African forms. Founded by Kevin Poulose in 2018, it began with creating a platform for Western street style dancing in Thiruvananthapuram but has since diversified to include a variety of styles from across the world.
