Lucy Salazar Spotlight!

I want to introduce you to Lucy Salazar, a Master Teacher and Dance Elder whose presence, knowledge, and generosity have shaped generations of dancers in the Southwest.

These images capture Lucy leading Bailes de Salón de Nuevo México alongside the musicians Tíos Míos, which took place last August in Albuquerque, NM. Being in the room learning, listening, and moving alongside her was a powerful reminder that these dances live through shared experience and care.

Grateful to witness and be in community with Lucy, the dancers, and the musicians Tíos Míos
