EP 3: SERTRALINE

Lo Que Ale No Dijo ·

2025/10/29

In this episode, I open up about what it really means to face your own mind. Not as a counselor, not as a mother, not as a dancer but as a human being learning to listen to her body and her limits.I talk about starting Sertraline, the fears that came with it, and the decision to finally take ownership of my healing. This isn’t a conversation about labels or diagnosis. It’s about reclaiming your power, understanding the chemistry of your emotions, and giving yourself permission to rest without

2025/10/17

Este episodio lleva una parte de mi historia una carta a la tierra que me vio crecer y a la memoria que todavía vive en mi cuerpo.

Lo Que Ale No Dijo : Season 2Episode 1: Mental HealthThis episode opens a new chapter. Season 2 begins with honesty and softness: a reminder that even those who help others sometimes struggle to help themselves. I speak about burnout and the moments when being alive feels heavy.This season is different. It is not just about breaking silence it’s about tending to what happens after we speak. About care, nervous system awareness, rest, and building safety.If you’ve ever felt like you had to hold it

EP 10: The Child I Still Carry

Lo Que Ale No Dijo ·

2025/09/24

Reaching ten episodes is more than a number. It’s a milestone of consistency, of showing up week after week for truth, for survivors, and for the community that grows with every story told.In this episode, I reflect on what it means to carry the child I once was, to stand as the adult I needed back then, and to continue the work of breaking silence. This week also brought a reminder of why advocacy cannot wait the resilience of someone who escaped violence and is beginning again.Episode 10 is about

EP 9: Why We Cannot Look Away

Lo Que Ale No Dijo ·

2025/09/18

This episode was born out of exhaustion, anger, and love. My name has now been added to Not Just Chisme, placed alongside stories that reveal what the Latin dance community doesn’t want to face. I speak as a survivor and as a mother, as someone who has carried silence long enough.Advocacy, for me, is no longer an idea :it is a practice. It lives in the choices we make every day, in the voices we choose to believe, and in the truths we refuse to bury. There is so much to do, and as César Vallejo

EP 8: The Silence That Hurts Us All

Lo Que Ale No Dijo ·

2025/09/08

This week I open up about the kind of pain that stays with survivors for years: the silence carried since childhood, the systems that protect abusers, and the hurt of watching communities act like nothing happened.I reflect on the Epstein survivors, my own journey of protecting my peace, and the ways I’m choosing healing through boundaries, all-female dance teams, and the men I do trust: including my partner and my two boys who I'm raising to grow into men who can be trusted.This episode is a

2025/09/02

In this episode of Lo Que Ale No Dijo, I reflect on what it means to be left unheard as a survivor, as a mother, and as a member of a community living through fear and grief.From being ignored by organizers in the dance world, to the trauma of immigration raids in sanctuary cities, to the heartbreaking loss of children in yet another school shooting, I ask: how much silence will we allow before change truly happens?This episode is also my living diary a legacy for my children, my students, and for

E6: Respect is The First Step.

Lo Que Ale No Dijo ·

2025/08/25

This week I reflect on how respect is not just a word we repeat in dance spaces it’s the foundation that shapes safety, boundaries, and dignity. Drawing from the voices of Fernando Salas and Gabriela Equiz, I talk about how objectification and power dynamics are normalized, and why we must build healthier structures for our community.I also share a personal moment when I had to listen to my own body’s reaction to a promotion in our scene, and how documenting that discomfort became a way of

EP 5: El Respeto Debe Ser El Primer Paso.

Lo Que Ale No Dijo ·

2025/08/16

En este episodio de Lo Que Ale No Dijo reflexiono sobre lo que he aprendido como bailarina y consejera escolar: el problema nunca ha sido el baile, sino las estructuras que lo sostienen.Hablamos de cómo la salsa y la bachata han normalizado la cosificación, la hipersexualización y dinámicas de poder que dañan a nuestra comunidad. Comparto por qué la prevención empieza en casa, cómo acelerar el proceso de aprendizaje puede dejar heridas físicas y emocionales, y por qué el respeto siempre debe ser el

EP.4 Stories Are Not Chisme

Lo Que Ale No Dijo ·

2025/08/07

In this episode, I reflect on the emotional weight of silence, the complexity of community responses, and the difference between storytelling and defamation. I share why I’ve chosen to speak to platforms like Not Just Chisme, and how recording this podcast has helped me process my own healing not to harm anyone, but to protect those who haven’t been warned.This is not an exposé. It’s not drama.It’s documentation. It’s truth. It’s what many of us have been too afraid to say out loud.I speak from my

EP3: Why I Still Dance for Her

Lo Que Ale No Dijo ·

2025/07/29

On this special episode, released on Peruvian Independence Day, Alexandra returns to her roots not just as a dancer, but as a girl who once lit up on stage, barefoot and full of pride. After more than a decade away from Peruvian folklore, she reconnects with the rhythms that still live in her body: the joy of Carnavales, the fire of Caporales, and the memory of a little girl dancing in a Valicha skirt beside her grandmother.This is not a story of pain. It's a story of remembering. Of home. Of

EP 2: When It's Not Just One Story

Lo Que Ale No Dijo ·

2025/07/25

In this episode, I reflect on multiple survivor stories shared with me from the Latin dance scene. We talk about grooming, coercion, trauma bonding, and institutional betrayal. I also share an anonymous testimony of rape and explain why this podcast exists: to hold space, not shame. Stories are shared with consent, and details are modified to protect privacy. Trigger warning: this episode discusses sexual violence, alcohol, and emotional harm.
