Episode 21: Johely Guilarte

In this week's episode, we chat with the incredible Johely Guilarte — a passionate salsa dancer and choreographer originally from Venezuela and now based in Dublin, Ireland. Johely shares her inspiring journey, from discovering her love for dance at a young age, to competing and performing around the world, and the challenges she faced when moving to a new country.

With over 20 years of experience in Latin and urban dance styles, Johely has mentored and taught thousands across America, Africa, and Europe. She's a decorated performer, with accolades including South American Salsa Champion, 1st place at the Limburg Salsa Congress, and her recent wins at the 2024 Summit Championship.

We also explore her role as a cultural ambassador, the story behind founding Real Dance Studio, her JG Active Wear brand, and how she continues to build community and empower women through the art of dance.
