EP #221: Angie Zumaran with Casa Salsa

Good Neighbor Podcast: Cooper City

Ever wondered how a simple step on the dance floor can lead to a journey of joy and cultural discovery? Angie Zumaran , the vibrant force behind Casa Salsa, joined me, Jeremy Wolf, to whirl through her story from a dance devotee to the founder of a studio that's become the heartbeat of Davie's Latin dance scene. Our conversation unfurls the energetic world of salsa, embracing the pulsating beats of styles from the smooth New York 'Salsa on two' to the feverish Cali style, while Angie dispels the myth that dance is only for those with perfect rhythm—making a compelling case that even I, renowned for my 'two left feet', could find my groove in the salsa community.
As the aroma of Peruvian spices seemed to waft through our studio chat, we took a nostalgic trip to Lima, reminiscing over family feasts and the shared laughter that transcends all borders. Yet, the tone took a somber step as we recounted the shadow the 2020 pandemic cast on Casa Salsa, forcing us to pivot to the digital dance world and face an uncertain future. But with Angie's relentless spirit and the unwavering support of our community, we're spinning a tale of resilience and hope, determined to see our beloved studio—and all the aspiring dancers within—emerge stronger and more connected than ever. Join us for an episode that promises not just steps, but leaps into the transformative power of dance and community.
