Eric Parra

A Mother’s Day @buenavistamusical debut 🤍💐 What a blessing to be able to gift my mom w/ the opportunity to see me living out my dreams on another Broadway stage—part of the same dream that she sacrificed so much for & helped nurture with unconditional love & support. And how fitting to debut in this show on Mother’s Day, a day that reminds me of my late Abuela who grew up listening to the OG Buena Vista songs in Colombia. Thank you God 🤍 catch me back on stage May 19-24! big thanks to the BVSC choreo & management team 🫶🏾

Thankful to be a first generation Afro-Latino from Union City, NJ on Broadway.

Thankful for my loving partner @jojocolumbo for his grace & patience & support throughout.

2025 was a crazy eventful year for many, many reasons. But one of the most joyful, biggest, and best days of the year (and lowkey my life) was seeing & being a part of my brother & new sister in law’s beautiful wedding. My big brother @mrjparra_ has been a role model of mine for as early as I can remember. To see one of my heroes find a radiant love has brought a renewed warmth & excitement into so many of our lives. Welcoming @t.neck & the rest of her family into ours has literally been so wholesome & easy. We love your love! Enjoy some pics from the special day 🫶🏾 and make some noise for this beautiful couple 😭 and more commotion for the stunning bride 💍 and her dress!! And my mom 😭😭😭 Photos by @benlauphoto

Missing the PR sun extra today 🌞 Also I lied & it’s just a 2 part dumpy 😇 but really feel so fortunate to have been able to experience PR during @badbunnypr ’s residency. The energy was insane, the pride was palpable, the joy was infectious. I couldn’t help but to feel sooo inspired and affirmed. Especially as a Latinx artist—it was a reminder that my identity is my power. We stand on some complex, beautiful, resilient shoulders. Most importantly, heart is home, and no one can take that away. Hasta la próxima 🇵🇷

HK does GMA ❤️‍🔥 hit the step at 8 am on a Friday morning? Why not 😅 thankful for this group that made our 5 am call an enjoyable one & thankful for the cold brew that carried me thru 🥲

Whewwww, finally getting to post about my last shows w @limondance where I took my final bow after 7 years with the company. It was such a full circle moment. From getting to introduce my mentor Earl Mosley @earlmosley_diversityofdance for his award, to performing a role in NYC that was once my dream role, sharing my final dance w my love @jojocolumbo , Queen @savannahspratt & sweet @mariahgravelin who have all been w me since my first days of this journey, and having my family, close friends, old professors & new students in the historic @92ndstreety house—it was magic. My heart is full. The last seven years have been filled w countless memories. Challenges, successes, a pandemic, a rebirth of the company, health issues, injuries, a love story, so many tours, classes, multiple creative processes & residencies. I am so grateful for all those that I have crossed paths with throughout my time in this incredible legacy company. A special thank you to @dantepuleio & @_l_f_k_ , the leaders of this special group that have always pushed me beyond the goals I set for myself, made space for me to advocate & learn to lead when needed, and ultimately saw me for me. They nurtured me. They took care of me. They listened. They are role models & the reason I dedicated so much time & energy to this work. To all the company members I spent time with throughout the last 7 years, you are family forever. You know the vibes, the love runs deep & unconditionally. 🫶🏾 There’s so much more I can say about my time w @limondance . But for now, “thank you” will do. ✨
