EVERY STEP TELLS A STORY:
10 Years of Dance at FUERZAfest
As FUERZAfest celebrates its 10th anniversary, dance remains central to its mission of uplifting queer Latine voices. Through movement, rhythm, and emotion, artists share powerful stories of identity, resilience, love, and liberation.
For a decade, FUERZAfest has created a space where LGBTQ+ Latine artists can honor their heritage, challenge stereotypes, and express themselves with pride. Every step carries memory, truth, and the power to heal, connect, and inspire change.

Get ready to feel the power, passion, and rhythm of those who paved the way!
Join us for the explosive opening of FUERZAfest’s 10th Anniversary with PIONEROS, a breathtaking theatrical dance experience honoring the Latinx LGBTQIA+ activists and visionaries who dared to create space where none existed.
They protected our communities, demanded visibility, confronted oppression, and transformed the world by living authentically.
PIONEROS is curated and choreographed by acclaimed Puerto Rican artist Carlos Falú, whose credits include Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour, Broadway’s Buena Vista Social Club, the Tony Award winning ILLINOISE, Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, and Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story.
Rooted in ballet, contemporary dance, jazz, hip hop, bomba, salsa, reggaeton, and street jazz, Falú’s electrifying choreography brings tradition and innovation together.
Through five interconnected pieces, PIONEROS combines movement, historic speeches, and raw emotion to explore our collective history of celebration, protest, gender expression, trans identity, resilience, and joy.
Guiding us through this extraordinary celebration as our Mistress of Ceremonies will be Miss Hell’s Kitchen and drag queen extraordinaire, the one and only Freeda Kulo!
