"That’s the nature of movement, isn’t it? We are pulled from one thing to another and these things themselves transform into something else. In that vein, I’m once again moving on from something I love dearly to somewhere else my passions lie. It’s time for me to say goodbye to hosting All The Best and to you all." - Madhuraa Prakash

This week, a farewell to our multi-talented host, Mads.

Then, two stories about “moving(literally)’, as we all look forward to hopeful beginnings.

To Kwame Slusher, our new host, the baton’s now yours!

 

Dance is my Salvation by Catarina Fraga Matos

To Cheryl, Salsa is not just an art but a straw she clutched to.

Surrounded by the glamour of her parents’ dance studio in Sri Lanka, Cheryl grew up with music in the air and a privileged life beneath her feet. Everything took a downturn after migrating to Australia, where her mother (then herself) had to navigate single parenthood. Through Catarina’s interview with Cheryl, we trace Cheryl’s journey from a dance studio in 1960s Colombo, to finding identity and transformation in the rhythm of salsa.

Beneath the tapping heels and the booming salsa tunes is a childhood reminisced, a life reshaped, and the salvation Cheryl seeked.

Produced by Catarina Fraga Matos.

The supervising producer was Shelby Traynor. 

Thank you to the Sydney Dance Company and Arthur Murray Inner West for allowing Catarina to record sound during their dance classes.
