Happy 50th Anniversary, @sesamestreet! I grew up watching Sesame Street everyday, glued to the TV and singing and dancing along to all of the incredible (and educational) music that taught me so much! Above all, it was fun - I felt like I was on Sesame Street, with my friends Big Bird, Grover, Kermit, Cookie Monster, Oscar The Grouch, The Count, Bert & Ernie, Snuffy, Maria, Luis, Gordon, and so many more! And about 7 years ago, my dream came true of actuallly being on Sesame Street, dancing a #Bollywood number with Murray Monster and his little lamb, Ovejita! To 50 years of bringing so much joy, learning, and curiosity to kids all over the world - and thanks for making this lifelong Sesame Street kid’s dream come true! #sesame50

I still can’t believe the premiere of the new #BareFeetDNA season is next week on NYC Life - tune in Thursday, June 6th at 9:30pm! This new season has been so special to me, connecting with people in a way I never thought possible. This is just one of the many, many, many beautiful moments I got to experience during the filming of this new season, dancing in Samarkand, #Uzbekistan with Charos and her group @aafrosiyobraqs - Rahmat to everyone who helped make this moment possible!

I’m still on such a high from Tuesday’s #BareFeetDNA event at @dromnyc! We celebrated the launch of the new #BareFeetSeries season that premieres on NYC Life Thursday, June 6th at 9:30pm! Thank you to EVERYONE who came out to celebrate - family, friends, #BareFeetFans, our event sponsors @weareinpuglia, @allianztravelus, and @tourismireland, our supporters, our underwriters (Mr. Yuen from The Yuen Foundation shared such incredibly kind words!), our presenting station NYC Life and the team of #badass women who work with me, my editor @mainmanjon, the media, the #travel community, the #dance community, and of course the incredible performers @nynynol & members of @cgs_canzoniere! This evening brought everything full circle - DROM was a music venue I frequented to write posts for my then Bare Feet Blog at the beginning (circa 2011-2014), and to have all of these people come together to celebrate something that was created out of so much love, dedication, hard work, blood, sweat, and definitely lots of tears, HERE of all places where it was cultivated, was true magic. This was just so overwhelming for me to have everything come together in such perfect harmony. Thank you to @shootmytravel for capturing these magical moments from the evening 🙏📸 This is exactly what Bare Feet means to me - bringing people together and connecting strangers through dance & music! ❤️ Stay tuned for this new season premiere in June, we can’t wait for you to see it!!! ✨

We missed our amazing rotating crew @lina_land, @evancarters_party, @travelingjules, @marko.alonso, @lildragontv!

It’s official! And as I share this news, I’m already crying! This new season of The #BareFeetSeries has been over 2 years in the making, and here we are, a month away from the season premiere on NYC Life followed by a full roll-out on @pbs stations across the country!! If you couldn’t tell already, making this show is a dream come true, filled with so much joy - but so much work! I can’t thank enough everyone who has helped make this new season possible - and to see how far we’ve come from our very first episode filmed 9 years, it’s been quite a journey ✨ Thank YOU for being a part of that journey, and I can’t wait for you to watch this #BareFeetDNA season airing soon!! 🙏❤️🌍

Happy #InternationalDanceDay from Tashkent, #Uzbekistan! 🇺🇿💙

When you ask to take a #selfie with 35 incredible doyra players... 💯 We’ve made it to #Uzbekistan for another episode of the #BareFeetSeries - this is the furthest east that my DNA takes me on this #BareFeetDNA journey! And these talented musicians, ages ranging between 7-18 years, were not only so warm and welcoming to me, but boy, could they play that doyra (a 2+ kilo hand drum!!) 💪 Rahmat to these sweet faces of the Barkamol Avlod “Future Generation” arts school, and rahmat Tashkent!! 🙏 🇺🇿

I try my hardest, but it’s my crew that really make me look my best. Not only because they are artists in their own right, creating magic with the lens, but because I love and trust them and feel comfortable enough with them to be myself in a land full of strangers. As we gear up for another #BareFeetDNA shoot next week, I’m excited to fly to a foreign and beautiful and strange yet familiar part of the word with them to explore, tell stories, and of course dance with my #BareFeetTeam! 🙏❤️ Thank you to everyone who makes me shine and do my job in a way that I never thought possible!

I’ve been a little MIA on social media, but I hope you’ll forgive me for my absence. It’s been a crazy few weeks of speaking engagements, non-stop travel, but what we’ve been really working on are edits for this new #BareFeetDNA season! It is crunch time for #TeamBareFeet as we are in full edit mode - but I have to say, I couldn’t be more proud of the new season. Truly. I’m moved to tears as I am re-living what the past 2 years of hard work looks like - and from filming the first episode of the new season last year, I’m reminded of the beautiful people I get to meet, dance with, and of course make music with. Like Manana - she taught me such a beautiful song from the region of Kazbegi in the Republic of Georgia on this traditional instrument, the panduri 🇬🇪 I can only keep thinking over and over again, thank you - thank you to all of these incredible people for letting me feel the rhythms of my DNA - გმადლობთ ! Gracias! Grazie! Merci! ευχαριστώ! شكرا جزيلا ! 🙏❤️

What an amazing way to wrap up and celebrate the end of #WomensHistoryMonth! 💪 Thank you to @downtownmagnyc for including me in their HEAR US ROAR! 50 Women Changing The World piece - this list is inspiring, and I am beyond honored to be included with women who I have been admiring throughout my life! 🙏❤️ #girlboss #womenwhotravel

Happy #TravelTuesday - I’ve always found #dance as a way to communicate with strangers, but sometimes it’s just fun to use dance as a way to become part of the landscape. #Chefchaouen truly is a magical city, and I couldn’t help myself but grab the perfect instagram shot! #guiltyascharged Check out some of our other #BareFeetArabesque shots we tried in our #instastories

#BareFeetSeries #BareFeetDNA

Today I talk about my #BareFeetDNA journey so far and how incredibly beautiful and life-changing this experience has been for me at the #DCTravelShow. After this week’s massacre in New Zealand, I wanted to reflect on how I’ve been feeling - regions in my #DNA map cover Muslim countries like #Morocco, and I have only experienced love, kindness, and open arms embracing me as one of their own. As a traveler, I feel privileged to see every day how our differences are pretty insignificant - we all need food, shelter, love, community, and a little bit of #dance & #music to survive. That goes for everyone around the world, even our neighbors in our own backyard. May we remember these important similarities between us all, and the beauty of compassion, love, and kindness that will get us through these difficult times to help us move forward in the right direction. 💙

#TeamBareFeet is at it again - I’m back filming another episode of the #BareFeetDNA series, and I’m warning you now, this new season is filled with a lot of tears. Don’t worry, they are so many tears of joy and overwhelming emotion, some of which I cannot explain; but all I can say is that the connection I have been feeling with so many different people along this journey has been unforgettable and life-changing. We made it to Morocco where Dar Gnawa took me right in and let me share in the ecstatic #dance and #music that truly touches the heart 🇲🇦 I don’t know what happened to me with them, but this photo was taken right after the tears were streaming down my face where I was able to return back to some sort of reality. Shukraan, Dar Gnawa, I’ll never forget this moment, ever.
And I can’t wait for all of you to see this new season of the #BareFeetSeries - stay tuned!!! 📷: @evancarters_party
