Day 114 | Kitaba Thanksgiving

Good morning, good afternoon good day Mi Gente. Just opened my eyes. Checked my legs, checked my arms, I’m alive. Another day, another dollar. Kitaba social yesterday was off the chain. DJ Do Marçal did what he was supposed to do. Great job. The people were very happy. The mixes were smooth. We had fun […]

Day 73 | Hard Work

Eweee Mi Gente! Last Thursday, you already know, Manuel & Flavie taught at Baila Con Gusto. Lots of new faces, discovering #kizomba for the first or second time. That made me happy. You know what else made me happy? Seeing my team wearing their Gindungo shirts, and dancing the night away. Kizomba, Salsa… even Bachata. […]

Day 81 | Student Energy on High

Woke up this morning feeling kinda dizzy. Man, I’m in love with my students. 😍 🔹#kuduroMondays: Monday’s kuduro class was ah-maze-zing. Lots of returning faces from the Summer Set program, which means they liked what they got. They worked HARD. They sweated at LOT. They sweated a little bit but they smiled and laughed! And […]

Day 84 | Falling In Love With Montreal

I never looked at this city for what it is or understood how special it is until now. From 2014 to 2017, your boy and Flavie had the opportunity to travel and share the beautiful art of #semba, #kizomba and #kuduro worldwide. Every week, a new city, a different plane, jet lag, hundreds of new […]

Day 87 | 4-day Weekend

My weekend starts right now, Mi Gente. Why? Because. The only description for yesterday’s class: amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing. Jam packed. Lots of new faces in the fall program. Students that are willing to learn kizomba AND semba AND kuduro, meaning we see each other Monday AND Tuesday AND Wednesday, and top it off with the new Kitaba […]

Day 98 | Hospital Visit

Man, what a week. I dunno where to start. Last Saturday, while performing at Moka social with the #kcds, my knee just popped out. Right in the middle of the kuduro section of the show. Pop, out it went. Don’t know what reason, wasn’t even a hard move at all, my knee just slid out […]

Day 104 | Feliz Dia Da Independência

Woke up at 2 am. Just saw the video of my babies performing at the Boston Brazil Dance Festival. They did good, traveling and spreading their love for Kizomba, without their doctor. 😍👊👍👌 Today, we are the 11th of November 2017. Very happy Independence Day to my country. Let me tell the story of this […]

Day 111 | Mastering Hello

Man. Facebook is going wild with those Kizomba posts. I’m gonna be honest, it’s a lot of fun watching people so engaged in something simple, and so opinionated in something they believe is right. But it’s also funny to see people so emotionally involved and losing it while they typing saying shit they didn’t mean. […]

Day 72 | Family First

Woke up on another day in another city. On Sunday I got bad news about my nephew: Junior was sick at the hospital. He is first born of the next generation, the first grandson of the family, our biggest baby . Knowing that, without thinking twice, your doctor jumped on the bus and made my […]
