Alexander Balanta is a dance instructor in Villa Rica, a municipality in northern Cauca – Colombia, a town born from the descendants of Africans enslaved by the landowners of the great Cauca.

 

He dreams of leaving as a legacy a dance that tells the traditions that were lived around the traditional farms, where the cultivation of cocoa was one of the most important.
