Only a few more weeks until the new #BareFeetDNA season starts airing on @pbs stations across the country!! It has been such an incredible journey so far, and I cannot tell you how excited I am for you all to see the stories we are sharing with you for this new season - I decided to get my DNA tested almost 2 years ago, to use my findings as the basis for this next season’s map of destinations to visit. Little did I know how incredibly emotional and transformative this season would be for me! Stay tuned for Season 3 of the #BareFeetSeries coming to your local PBS station this October!! ❤️🌍✨

Dance, movement, music, and artistic expression have always been therapeutic for me, and this morning’s performance of The Table of Silence Project 9/11 was a perfect example of using the arts for healing - a haunting, beautiful piece in the middle of @lincolncenter with the soundtrack of operatic voices, minimal instrumentation, and the sounds of New York City. At moments, ambulance trucks sped by with their blaring sirens, which pulled me event further back to the memories of 9/11/01. Those were the true sounds of the city that day.
Thank you Jacqulyn Buglisi (@big lisidance) for conceiving and choreographing this incredibly powerful and emotional remembrance.

Did you ever get a feeling from something that stuck with you so strongly, you couldn’t shake it? At first, it was only a shot of joy that kept getting buried in the tasks of daily life. And then as you sporadically found that moment again and again, you wanted more. So much so, it would keep you up at night. I cannot reiterate enough how many times and for how long people thought that my idea to travel the world through #dance and #music was a pipe dream, that I was crazy to want to do this – and people who loved and cared for me deeply. If you really have a passion for something, if you truly find joy in something, please do not ignore that voice inside of you that tells you to keep going for it. As we continue to edit more episodes from the #BareFeetDNA season, I’m constantly reminded that this new season almost didn’t happen, that the moment of giving up entirely was very real. But I couldn’t shut out that voice that kept telling me to stick with it, no matter what. Mickela, you crazy sonofabitch, that voice of yours inside my head can drive me to insanity but it also keeps me the most sane version of myself possible! #girlboss #powerofshe #womenwhotravel

NEW EPISODE TONIGHT! The #WildAtlanticWay along the southwestern coast of #Ireland is one of my favorite places in the world!

Happy #NationalDanceDay - #dance has been the part of my life that has given me so much joy, so much freedom, and so much connection to the rest of the world! ❤️ When I was 15 years old and was the new kid at school, I joined my high school’s Dance Corps, building lifelong friendships and finding my voice in a foreign place. It’s incredible how nothing’s changed much - I still use dance to do those exact same things 🌍

To our NYC Life fans - TONIGHT is a new episode of our #BareFeetDNA season, and I could not be more proud of what we have been sharing with you. Tonight, I #dance in #Morocco, where not only is it one of the most exotic and foreign places I have ever been to, but it is also the most powerful for me and where I felt the strongest connections to my roots. 🇲🇦 I don’t know how else to explain it except for that I felt so welcome and so part of the cultures & the people that I met in this episode. It gets emotional, so you may need a box of Kleenex while you tune in (trust me, no matter how many times I watch these scenes, I cry all over again! 😭). Shukraan, @visit_morocco_, for helping make this experience truly a trip of a lifetime! Tune in TONIGHT at 9:30pm on NYC Life (channel 22 or 25, depending on your cable provider) - in the NY Metro Area (NY, NJ, CT, LI).

The past 3 Wednesdays of this month have been filled with music, dance, and so much joy - thank you to everyone who has come out to celebrate with us and make this all happen! And I don’t know about you, but I’m so glad TONIGHT we have one more night filled with that magic – we could all use little joy right now. Tonight is the last of the Bare Feet @downtownbrooklyn LIVE series (for now), where we’ll be dancing in the Plaza at 300 Ashland at 6:30pm-8:30pm to Balkan music from @slavicsoulparty! This LIVE #BareFeetDowntown series has been a dream, bringing the mission of my TV show to life by connecting with so many of you through the power of dance and music. So, for tonight, please consider the money you would have spent on this experience (remember, it’s FREE to party with us tonight!), and donate it to helping @raicestexas, whose mission is to help separated families, detained families, unaccompanied minors, and others who are seeking asylum in the United States. ***
I’ll see you on the dance floor tonight, Brooklyn, always with love and an open heart! ❤️ #ImmigrantHeritageMonth #MadeByImmigrants 📸: @mario_ruben_
