Meet Luis Mulero

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Luis Mulero. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Luis, so good to have you with us today. We’ve got so much planned, so let’s jump right into it. We live in such a diverse world, and in many ways the world is getting better and more understanding but it’s far from perfect. There are so many times where folks find themselves in rooms or situations where they are the only ones that look like them – that might mean being the only woman of color in the room or the only person who grew up in a certain environment etc. Can you talk to us about how you’ve managed to thrive even in situations where you were the only one in the room?

Knowing that I walk with all my ancestors behind me and supporting what I do from multiple realms

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

I use movement as a tool to inspire, heal, and empower people. Through dance, teaching, and performance, I help others connect with confidence, discipline, and their own creativity.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Understanding what it mean to be Puerto Rican in the diaspora of the United States and its complicated history, my ability to bring a positive light to other creators and dance works, not forgetting that my work is supposed to be fun and remembering to not take it too seriously

What has been your biggest area of growth or improvement in the past 12 months?

Collaboration with dance companies with a similar mission statement as myself. Some to note but not limited to Chocolate Ballerina Co and the Roxy Ballet company.
