A little blurry but relevant this morning as I head to the Academy of Spanish Dance to teach the flamenco kids classes at the very same studio I grew up in!!. . . . #nofilter #blurry #flamenco #flamencodance #damcekids #flamencokids #kids #ole #asd #academyofspanishdance #esmeraldaenrique #giveback #oldskool 💖💖💖💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Ten years ago spear fishing in IBIZA. Not photoshopped! I love this magical island with all my heart. Starting when I was 14, I spent many a summer there, interviewing famous international DJs like @tiesto, working in a renewable energy company, going to remote valleys to participate in the “Pagès” festivities with my fairy godmother (the original people of the island), snorkeling, spending time with some of my favourite people in the world and going to psy trance parties in the woods (that no longer exist!!!) I went back in the fall with @garateca and was shocked to see how it could have become even more touristy, but it is still a truly magical place and a piece of my heart is always there. @moransao tu tb estabas en estas aguas!!! 😉💕🏊🏼‍♀️⛵️. . . . #ibiza #eivissa #underthesea #sea #mar #mer #agua #aguas #aigues #ibz #snorkeling #spear #spearfishing #sailing #diving #bucear #buceo #freedive #blue #bluesea #10yearchallenge #traveler #swimmer 🌅🗺

Another beautiful moment with @maracatumaraberto from 2013!! Photo by @monochrometo at @lulalounge . . . Maracatu is an Afro Brazilian cultural manifestation from the North East of Brazil that I have had the fortune and honour to study, sing and play since around 2006 with some great leaders and maestros here in my own definitely multicultural city of Toronto 🎶💕🥁🎉🎊🥰. . . #maracatu #mma #multicultural #toronto #meltingpot #meetingplace #culture #sing #drum #percussion #manifestation #parade #baque #thegarrison #lulalounge #torontonightlife #torontomusic #maraberto #opensea #brazil #pernambuco #brazilian #tamarilana #beyourself #torontosinger 🎤💖💃🏻
