"It promises to be a great festival and I will put my best energy and professionalism (for the event)," Medina said. "I am very excited ... it will be my first time in this magnificent place.
"This Caribbean Gay Spring Break Festival is an international event, not only for natives, but also foreign tourists, therefore, it will give much to talk about and surely will be a new place to visit for many lovers of the world and the parties of the LGBT community."
Medina, who lives in Bogota, said he hopes to visit some of the tourist and historical hot-spots in Curacao.
Medina is a personal trainer in addition to dancing and is a dancer at El Mozo Club in Bogota, Industry Club in Medellin, at various Pride events, and more.
"I love circuit party music, but also listen to bachata," he said of music genre that originated in the Dominican Republic, with themes of romance, including heartbreak and sadness. "I like to dance because it has been the way to have connection with people, also through the dance I have been able to live many experiences and know several places of my country and the world.
"The best moment of dancing is when you put fear aside and move as your body really wants it (to), without inhibitions."
As a personal trainer, Medina has been able to "help people achieve their goals and improve their lives," he said. "We all know that exercise feeds the soul."
