They say dance is the hidden language of the soul…especially if you’re a New York City nightlife dancer.
Turco, a/k/a Abelardo, engages everyone who sees him in a conspiracy of love. Not all gifts are tied in ribbons–some surprise us when they arrive, and watching Turco dance is one such gift. Turco has a dazzling flare and leaves a trailer of glitter that is never forgotten. Although he doesn’t plan to be a dancer for the rest of his life, right now he is having fun with it.
Hello, Turco. What inspired you to become a dancer in the New York nightlife?
It never crossed my mind to be a dancer, but the opportunity arose and I did it.
Do you have other talents or hobbies that you do when you are off from dancing?
When I’m not dancing, I like to be at home and play volleyball.
Do you plan to make dancing a forever career or is there something else on the horizon for you?
I have other plans in mind. Dancing is something temporary.
How many times do you go to the gym a week? Do you have a special regimen you do?
I train six days a week. I just try to eat well and take care of my health and body.
Tell us something about you that no one else knows?
I like to be alone, I don’t like to talk sometimes.
When and where can you be found working?
I work in different bars, when they reach out to me. I was recently booked at Friend’s Tavern, Viva La Heights, Boxers, MB Bar Boutique, and Hush Bar, plus there are bookings in January that are being confirmed.
Do you have a New Year’s resolution?
I have things in mind, but time will tell and I have my desire to achieve it.
