Mario Rojas is on a mission to re-ignite the passion of Chileans via his satellite TV show. His aim is to re-introduce native Cueca dancing; a dance that is at the heart of the Chilean identity.

Cueca evolved out of early 19th Century working class bars. A couple pass and circle one another to rapid guitar music. Yet during Pinochet s rule, it changed from a dance of love, to a symbol of dictatorship. Women whose husbands had disappeared would dance alone as protest to Pinochet s rule. But Rojas is determined to bring it back to its joyful roots. Cueca was an expression of freedom, born with the independence of Chile .
