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 healing through movement.
For anyone who has felt far from who they used to be, this episode is a love letter to your inner child, your culture, and the parts of you that never truly left.
This one is for her. The little girl who danced before she knew what healing meant.
