The songs are sequenced to tell the story of one dealing with the experience. From the confusing desperation and fear at the beginning through to the acceptance and hesitant optimism we feel about changes to society because of it and, possibilities ahead.

In this short film, my community partner tells a story about his culture and his experience of that culture here in Canada. In the year 2000, Balmore and his family moved from San Sebastian, El Salvador to London Ontario. Balmore started out dancing as a child when he would perform at quinceñeras, an event similar to a sweet 16 or a bat mitzvah for Hispanic girls where they celebrate becoming a woman. As a child dancing wasn’t necessarily something he wanted to take part in, but he did so anyway. Fast-forward a few years, and Balmore comes to realize how unique he was for keeping up with this tradition, unless you take dance lessons growing up, not many people know how to dance or develop the rhythm that comes along with it. Since realizing this growing passion, Balmore has taken many lessons to develop his personal skill level and has taken steps to becoming a dance instructor and teaching Latin dance here in London. Not only does dance play a huge role in the Latin culture, but the different types of music also play a part in it. Balmore discusses the effect that both music and dance have on him personally and how he is able to share his culture by teaching others.
