The popular dance is being used along with other treatments to address trauma in Cali, the world capital of salsa.

“I adored playing football,” said Diaz, who asked to be called by a pseudonym.

But her joyful, rambunctious childhood came to an end when her uncle started to sexually abuse her, she said. The assault continued over multiple occasions.
