Lo Que Ale No Dijo

Lo que Ale no dijo is back. Episode 4: Boundaries It has been almost seven months since the last episode. In this return, I open up about what happened in that space of silence, the changes I went through, and the ways life kept moving while I was figuring myself out. This episode is not a lesson. It is not a conclusion. It is a journal entry. A real time moment of coming back to my voice, my thou...

In this episode, I open up about what it really means to face your own mind. Not as a counselor, not as a mother, not as a dancer but as a human being learning to listen to her body and her limits. I talk about starting Sertraline, the fears that came with it, and the decision to finally take ownership of my healing. This isn’t a conversation about labels or diagnosis. It’s about reclaiming your p...

Este episodio lleva una parte de mi historia una carta a la tierra que me vio crecer y a la memoria que todavía vive en mi cuerpo. Hablo de lo que significa amar un país desde lejos, de sostener el dolor y el orgullo en el mismo respiro, y de encontrar sanación al recordar de dónde vengo. Esta temporada es personal. Habla de memoria, identidad y de las raíces que nunca se van. De cómo la distancia...

Lo Que Ale No Dijo : Season 2 Episode 1: Mental Health This episode opens a new chapter. Season 2 begins with honesty and softness: a reminder that even those who help others sometimes struggle to help themselves. I speak about burnout and the moments when being alive feels heavy. This season is different. It is not just about breaking silence it’s about tending to what happens  after  we speak. A...

Reaching ten episodes is more than a number. It’s a milestone of consistency, of showing up week after week for truth, for survivors, and for the community that grows with every story told. In this episode, I reflect on what it means to carry the child I once was, to stand as the adult I needed back then, and to continue the work of breaking silence. This week also brought a reminder of why advoca...

This episode was born out of exhaustion, anger, and love. My name has now been added to  Not Just Chisme , placed alongside stories that reveal what the Latin dance community doesn’t want to face. I speak as a survivor and as a mother, as someone who has carried silence long enough. Advocacy, for me, is no longer an idea :it is a practice. It lives in the choices we make every day, in the voices w...

This week I open up about the kind of pain that stays with survivors for years: the silence carried since childhood, the systems that protect abusers, and the hurt of watching communities act like nothing happened. I reflect on the Epstein survivors, my own journey of protecting my peace, and the ways I’m choosing healing through boundaries, all-female dance teams, and the men I do trust: includin...

In this episode of  Lo Que Ale No Dijo , I reflect on what it means to be left unheard as a survivor, as a mother, and as a member of a community living through fear and grief. From being ignored by organizers in the dance world, to the trauma of immigration raids in sanctuary cities, to the heartbreaking loss of children in yet another school shooting, I ask: how much silence will we allow before...

This week I reflect on how respect is not just a word we repeat in dance spaces it’s the foundation that shapes safety, boundaries, and dignity. Drawing from the voices of Fernando Salas and Gabriela Equiz, I talk about how objectification and power dynamics are normalized, and why we must build healthier structures for our community. I also share a personal moment when I had to listen to my own b...

En este episodio de  Lo Que Ale No Dijo  reflexiono sobre lo que he aprendido como bailarina y consejera escolar: el problema nunca ha sido el baile, sino las estructuras que lo sostienen. Hablamos de cómo la salsa y la bachata han normalizado la cosificación, la hipersexualización y dinámicas de poder que dañan a nuestra comunidad. Comparto por qué la prevención empieza en casa, cómo acelerar el...

In this episode, I reflect on the emotional weight of silence, the complexity of community responses, and the difference between storytelling and defamation. I share why I’ve chosen to speak to platforms like  Not Just Chisme , and how recording this podcast has helped me process my own healing not to harm anyone, but to protect those who haven’t been warned. This is not an exposé. It’s not drama....

En este episodio íntimo y profundamente personal, Alexandra nos lleva de regreso a sus raíces como bailarina de danzas folclóricas peruanas. En el marco del 28 de julio, Día de la Independencia del Perú, ella comparte lo que significó reencontrarse con la niña que bailaba con orgullo antes de conocer el dolor. Este no es un episodio sobre trauma, sino sobre retorno. Sobre cómo el cuerpo recuerda,...

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 s...

In this episode, I reflect on multiple survivor stories shared with me from the Latin dance scene. We talk about grooming, coercion, trauma bonding, and institutional betrayal. I also share an anonymous testimony of rape and explain why this podcast exists: to hold space, not shame. Stories are shared with consent, and details are modified to protect privacy.  Trigger warning: this episode discuss...

In the very first episode of Lo Que Ale No Dijo, Alexandra Larco introduces the heart of this bilingual podcast. As a Peruvian immigrant, mother, dancer, and school counselor in Los Angeles, she shares the truths she once silenced: the stories stored in our bodies, the discomfort we were taught to hide, and the cultural patterns often left unspoken in dance and performance spaces. Alexandra reflec...
