✨It way such a joy to dance at @eclipsezoukmarathon this year! It always is thanks to @deblinmcknight and her team, but especially this time as last year I spent the event watching from the sidelines in a wheelchair.
@ericmoura96 I LOVE dancing with you! Your creativity and energy, presence and playfulness are incredible, and our dance was one of my favorites of the whole event! One of my favorite things about social dancing is the ability to create with a partner, to try things, make mistakes, not feel judged but feel seen and appreciated, to feel like my partner is truly dancing with ME, dancing for US. This dance was all of those things and more for me, Eric. Muito obrigado e espero que possamos dançar mais logo 💛
🎥 Thank you for the video @jpt.media 🫶🏼

Happy International Dance Day!
This November marks ten years dance dropped into my life and changed me fundamentally as a human being.
Why does Brazilian zouk still have me in a chokehold after all this time?
More than anything, I love the way this dance feels. I love its synchronicity. Social dancing brought me a new way of noticing people. A way of experiencing and communicating with nuance and subtext in a world that requires so much explicit verbal confirmation.
It’s my drug of choice, a form of therapy, my preferred way of communing. It is the cult I claim.
Not everyone needs dance. I do.
It feels so rare to capture videos in a completely improvised dance where I’m in flow state, which makes this one minute clip feel all the more precious. There is no rush like the kind I get from dances like this one where it looks like water, but if you asked me what it felt like, I would tell you it felt like the feeling after a volcano has erupted—not the actual eruption itself—but the moments after when the molten lava runs over the course of the earth consuming everything in its path.
Who knew dancing could feel this way? That I could feel like lava?
More than anything, I hope you find the thing that moves you the way dance moves me.
Thank you @logan_moves for this dance at @eclipsezoukmarathon
Till our next dance ✨

Spent an hour dancing with @melonito7 at @eclipsezoukmarathon and it felt like stepping into a whole new conversation 👽
No prior dances together, no expectations!
Just letting the music carry us, discovering what wants to emerge… the playfulness, the magic, the nuance of expression.
These are the moments I live for in social dance 🤍
