Cintron began to create &#8220;a space&#8221; in which to feel comfortable dancing salsa through her project &#8220;Salsayternura&#8221; (sasla and kindness), where she promotes inclusive dance to dismantle gender roles while dancing, as she explains to EFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cintron, who has been dancing salsa since 2012, does not discuss the role of &#8220;boys&#8221; or &#8220;girls&#8221; as traditionally established in ballroom dancing, instead she uses gender-neutral terms: &#8220;leaders&#8221; and &#8220;followers.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 33-year-old teacher, a pioneer in teaching other women to lead in dance in Puerto Rico, recalls that when she began to lead the so-called followers, she felt &#8220;watched&#8221; and encountered &#8220;all these &#8216;are you playing a man?&#8217; questions&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-violence-in-heteronormativity\"><strong>Violence in heteronormativity<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The salsa instructor says that the main reasons her students sign up for her classes are because &#8220;they want to learn a new role, they want to learn among friends, they don&#8217;t want to wait for someone to ask them out, they want to dance with their female partners, and also because there is a lot of violence in the heteronormative role.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-192-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-659751\" style=\"width:673px;height:505px\" width=\"673\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-192-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-192-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-192-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-192-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-192-381x286.jpeg 381w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-192-1200x900.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-192-800x600.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-192-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-192-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-192-200x150.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-192.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 673px) 100vw, 673px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Women dance salsa in a class of the &#8220;Salsayternura&#8221; project in San Juan, Puerto Rico, 21 September 2023 (issued 22 September 2023).
