Host, Dancer, Empowerment Adovcate
Bobbie started dancing in 2019 and immediately fell in love with salsa and bachata. It was incredible: the people, the vibe, the community, like a parallel universe running right alongside everyday life. Dancing 6 nights a week, and attending festivals after only 4 weeks of dancing, Bobbie was spellbound. The more she became a part of the dancing community, the more Bobbie began to realise how little transparency, accountability and communication exists in some parts of the scene. The complexity of organising a festival, the role of teacher in a dance school, engagement with creating safe spaces, the challenge of speaking up when things don’t feel right - there are so many conversations to be had and Bobbie is on a mission to have those conversations. An empowerment coach in training, Bobbie believes that with knowledge comes empowerment and empowerment is something everyone deserves to feel on the dance floor.
