Today, we have a relative newcomer to Richmond's dance music scene - DJ Sid! In addition to chatting about his discovery of Latin partner dances, we find out when and why he got started in DJing, traveling fairly long distances for weeknight dancing, the STEM and dance connection, and life as an introvert in the dance scene. Our "spicy topics" section includes some discussion of dating within the dance scene (or even outside?).

There was so much ground to cover - how and where everyone got started, when you could call yourself "a dancer," the Mega Rueda Weekend itself, and the consumption and appreciation of the arts.
