Meu povo brasileiro, mostrem o poder do nosso engajamento pra eu trazer mais videos pra vocês 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Our history together ⬇️😍 @sukritiwahi

An Indian 🇮🇳 girl from Australia 🇦🇺 met a Brazilian-Spanish 🇧🇷 🇪🇸 girl in Sydney 🇦🇺 dancing kizomba 🇦🇴 only to reunite in Sevilla 🇪🇸 to dance Samba 🇧🇷

Is not a crazy one? 😍

So proud to have her as a student and also as a friend! Aaaand, do you know what? She created that samba choreo! For sure she is Brazilian inside too 😂🫶🏽

Happy International Dance Day! 💃🏽

Anyone who has spent even five minutes with me in the past few months will know of my love of dancing (yes, I am slowly becoming that slightly insufferable person)—a love that was reignited after a few difficult years and the decision to fill my life with the things that bring me joy in 2023. The result? The decision to begin learning three different dance styles, and also to return to my first love, Samba.

While in the simplest sense, it’s movement to music, in reality, for me, it’s so much more than that.

It’s happiness. It’s an escape. It’s a celebration of what the body can do, not what it looks like. It’s a lesson in being completely present. It’s community. It’s connection. It’s where friendships have formed. It’s a route to the heart and history of so many rich cultures. It’s—cliché but true—a journey.

And as much as I love dance itself, it wouldn’t run as deep as it does without all the incredibly dedicated and passionate teachers I’ve had the privilege of learning from over the years. I have gained something (many things!) from every single one of you. Thank you for enriching my life—one count of eight at a time. 💃🏽 by @sukritiwahi

La femme debout. Consciente. Inébranlable.

Celle qui honore son histoire, son corps.
Ce feu qu’on porte, il danse, il appelle, il relie.
C’est une mémoire, une élévation.
Cette création est un retour à l’essentiel, aux premiers frissons.
Nous rendons hommage aujourd’hui à @jenniferdias_official avec ce son intemporel déclassé.

Profonde gratitude aux danseuses puissantes qui ont incarné cette vision avec justesse et intensité. Merci à toute mon équipe, merci à @space.4000 pour sa créativité et son professionnalisme, merci aux personnes de l’ombre qui nous ont prêté main forte.

-

Women in her full light!
We stand, we rise together, we tell our truth.

Endless gratitude to the powerful entire team, seen and unseen, who brought such a presence and commitment into it.

This track from 2006 still moves through memory like it was written ystd. Your music, @jenniferdias_official transcends time and continues to ignite soul.

When you need a thing, call me… 🤙🏽💁🏽‍♀️✨

(… If the thing you need is a sassy kizomba fusion lady styling choreo with a touch of freestyle, that is 😉)

Gotta say, I quite enjoy the challenge of creating a choreo that needs to be beginner-friendly yet adaptable for advanced students, while still being fun in its simplest form (oh, and teachable in one hour 😅) 🎶

Drop your fave part in the comments 😍💃🏽

Also, a moment for the man behind the camera, @sydneydancemedia (catch his cameo in action on slide 5, hehe), who is one of the kindest and most supportive people in the scene. He was also one of the first people to encourage me when I started kizomba and saw potential even when I didn’t 🙏🏽🫶🏽 by @sukritiwahi

POV: You (unexpectedly 😅) get thrown into a semba demo with the amazing @bonifacioaurio and @king_chamalo—the first artists you learned from years ago, in this very hall, at the very start of your “kizomba world” journey 💫

Had to throw back to this full-circle moment from mid last year because the semba cravings are real (especially after watching @constancewck and @elif.mfp’s blindfolded Jack’n’Jill video from the @multiverse_kizomba_congress festival 🤩👏🏽). I love the energy of semba and it’s not played nearly often enough for my liking!

Do you wish DJs played more semba at kiz socials? by @sukritiwahi

I didn’t know it at the time, but my life was going to change in this studio ✨

I didn’t know that what I’d find here in early 2023 — finally able to dance again after years of chronic fatigue — would reignite a fire in me and take me across the world. Bali, Paris, Amsterdam, Seville… to name a few.

I also didn’t know that in each place, united by dance, I would find “my people”.

Finally, I didn’t know I that would find a puzzle piece I didn’t realise had been missing from my life since I moved to Sydney in 2017:

A “third place” and a whole community — something many of us struggle to find as adults as we lead increasingly busy lives (and there is a difference between community and friendship!).

I recently wrote about this experience, everything it’s given me, and friendship vs. community for @bed.threads Journal — full story at the link in my bio if you fancy a read ☕️

Thank you @arabella_peterson for the space and encouragement to continue my foray into first-person territory. And, most of all, big love to @latinjunction, my third place, and all the students and teachers there, for truly changing my life 💃🏽 by @sukritiwahi
