Day 16 | Back At It

Mi Gente. This week, I’ve been waking up with joy on my face. Sunday’s open house was off the charts! The people were enthusiastic, the instructors were on point. We had the very first of the Dsantos franchises come up to give us a hand aka Dsantos VT, under the leadership of Sarah Snow. I […]

Day 18 | Moda Mwangole

Day 21 | Sweat Life

Mi Gente! Thank you so much for the Welcome Back special edition of Kizomba Nights on Saturday. Was off the chain. Seeing new faces, students, colleagues, friends and people I’ve known for many years was doubly satisfying: I know that they are ok and they know I am ok. DJ Fofo Ja and DJ The […]

Day 28 | Modest Like Mayweather

Mi Gente, did you watch the fight? Damn. There were 2 people in that ring, but only one of them was a boxer. I am a McGregor fan, but Mayweather demolished him. It was like watching a tiger play with a kitten. You can’t fake greatness. Watching Mayweather is watching the results of thousands of […]

Day 31 | In Shape, Almost

Mi Gente, I’ll admit. Life was good when #stuckinlisbon. So good that your boy came back to Canada weighing a LITTLE bit over 200lbs #detailsarenotimportant. All those giant chubby shrimp 🍤 in your boy’s belly. Well, I woke up today, and got on the scale and I am 194.8lbs #detailsareveryimportant. Boom! 💣No other exercise being […]

Day 36 | Sembarific

Whappening Mi Gente? I’m going to Biggz Barber right now, feeling really good, gonna look even better after my bro is finished with my face 👹. My nose still hurts from my nose piercing on Saturday, but not as much. Crazy kind of pain, it goes straight from my nose to my eye. But it […]

Day 39 | Some Quick Updates

Yesterday I went to Baila Con Gusto. An amazing night, as always 🎉. Gotta give it up to Dominique, JP and Montuno for keeping it up. To work, to own a studio, and still have one of the hottest nights in the city, week after week, year after year – for that I salute you.👊👍 […]

Day 40 | Go With The Flow

Yesterday was nice, spent some time with my skateboard, went to my skate park, didn’t see the time pass. When I stopped to look around, it was already dark. It’s a cool experience hanging out with people you don’t know, smoking, kicking, pushing coasting. Went home was a little bored, didn’t wanna work on no […]

Day 41 | Feeling Saintly

Woke up today feeling confused. McNuggets, rum and coke beside my bed, Netflix still playing. Trying to put the puzzle together to figure out what the heck I did yesterday. Oh shit I remember, guess what? I was supposed to go out. Female friend gave me a phone call, asking what I was doing. I’m […]

Day 43 | The Art of Social Dancing

My kuduro gang yesterday did good, Mi Gente! They kept up with the choreo and I made them sweat . Mi Gente, if you don’t sweat when dancing kuduro, then you might be dancing, but you are 💯 not dancing kuduro. My students are starting to feel the music, it shows. 🎶They are learning that […]
