They teach you how dance in exchange for a donation destined to support a limited resources Colombian youth in order to study a postgraduate degree. We did it also with the help of the restaurant El Bembé , a piece of Cuba in the center of Bogotá where salsa lovers meet, Boogaloo, Chacha and Mambo.
