There is an infectious energy about dance forms whose popularity transcends their land of origin. There is also a certain malleability to them, for the nations that adopt them make them their own. It is this dynamism that has come to define what are collectively known as Afro Latin dance forms. "Worldwide, there is a huge buzz about Afro Latin dancing, but it hasn't yet caught on in India. The top cities of the world have their own dance festivals. In India, we have had events in Pune, Delhi and Kolkata, but Mumbai has lacked an event on a big scale for some time," shares Shital Joshi, founder, Pure Latin Fever, who hopes to bridge this gap with the first edition of India Afro Latin Sensation 2019 starting tomorrow.
