Day 14 | Work Day, Happy Day

Today woke up with joy on my face, because yesterday’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 was very proud to […]

Day 16 | A Time for Shout-Outs

Mi Gente! Time for a shout-out. Thank you BVTDance for your gift to the #bringbackdrKizomba fund. You already know: the dance world is all about showbiz.

Day 17 | Gindungo: 18 to go

Afternoon Mi Gente! We a few hours into day 17 of soberness and smoke free. Carrot juices nuts and fish, home-cooked food, nothing but the best water in this system aka Canadian-tap water from the rivers and mountains of Quebec, fresh like a drop of snow. Yeah baby. We got that water so pure that […]

Day 18 | Gindungo: 17 to go

Good day Mi Gente. It’s your boy Dr Kizomba waking up a little confused but happy. It’s day 18 for soberness, smoking-free and I just added one more subject: exposing the fakes. The topic of today is “inside jokes” aka friend of a friend trying to throw shade on another friend because they’re jealous of […]

Day 21 | Gindungo: 14 to go

Good morning, Mi Gente. The dream of today was a little bit weird but I’d rather start with my quote so that everything flows naturally. Today’s quote: “wanna find out who your true friends are? Get sober.” I think this is self explanatory and I don’t need to give my two cents about it. But […]

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 […]

“We can’t become who we want by remaining who we are.” Sober day 22, smoking-free day 22. Let me tell you a funny story about yesterday. Your boy went to Moka, another beautiful place where we dance old school Cuban Salsa and Bachata. It’s actually a legendary place because most of the folks that go […]
