Wives Angelica Medina and Jahaira Fajardo Share Culture Through Dance
b'Angelica Medina\\u2019s first memories of dance are from when she was five years old doing steps to a Selena performance on TV. Her wife, Jahaira Fajardo, remembers being a New York club kid in her late teens, when she thinks of her earliest dance experiences. That\\u2019s because dancing felt very heteronormative and exclusionary, and as a lesbian growing up in a Dominican household, dancing seemed just not okay for her. Now as adults, Angelica and Jahaira are co-founders of In Lak\\u2019ech, the first queer salsa and bachata dance academy in the U.S. and they are out to create dance spaces that build inclusivity.'
