"You're an #empathetic #wellinformed person who is doing their best to ensure that #everyone has an #equal place in #society."
Oh, burn.
Please don't also tell me how #smart, #hilarious, #talented, and #handsome I am. It would just hurt too much.

A little clip from one of my street cumbia / rock and roll workouts 💃🏻

I love this picture. The #women. The #style. The #joy. The #cross. The #man. It’s a beautiful a composition for my sensibilities.

Anyone know the photographer? #photography

#Movement is #medicine. Know your limits, of course, and when to rest. But also, keep moving. I’ve almost recovered my full range of motion after the #caraccident I had last week. It was minor, and I was #lucky 🍀 So #grateful for my #body.

Daily dose of #hopepunk #memes and #art

May we resist despair with every cell of our aliveness.

I am growing 4 kinds of #garlic in my #garden this year. That’s the most I’ve ever planted! 💪🏽

…Actually I got my kids to plant it for me. But it still feels like I did it, because I did all the work required for them to be capable of that. It took years.

Someone asked me this weekend “are you a #professional #dancer?” I was flattered, naturally, and I said “no, I’m a #socialdancer …but I might share my skills soon, ‘cause I need a job 😂 “…and also the world needs more social dancers welcomed in at all levels to grow #confidence and #connection.

I’m rejecting the scarcity mindset that #dance is a #luxury. Same for other #arts and life ways which have been professionalized. Dance is #medicine. Dance is #democracy #embodied. We need dance now more than ever. Dance is essential to #evolvingculture in #transformativetimes.

Keeping it simple.

Swing Criollo ➕ Queen 🟰 a match made in #queer #dance heaven.

Been dancing swing criollo again, because I don’t like running on the treadmill, and I’m having fun with it! Cardio, confidence, connection.

Me tooooo!!

A nostalgic flashback to my days dancing Costa Rican cumbia aka swing criollo with Kike. This was once prohibited from fancy night clubs because it was considered low-class, danced by queer people, truckers and taxi drivers, and working class people of all kinds in Guadeloupe.

A little #hopepunk art I found for you ✨💛🖤💛✨

Test this: kids who grow up dancing in safe #socialdance settings with their families are more likely to #dance as adults and co-create healthy dance communities.

First #familyfiesta in #ithacany was a blast, so grateful our dance community made it happen. Mil gracias! Nos vemos en el verano!!

1st Family Fiesta in #ithacany is a wrap! Thanks for everyone who came out to support and dance, and thanks to the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County for making it possible. Stay tuned 🎶 for our Summer and Fall Fiesta dates. Shout out to Clara Nieto and DJ Dudo, who brought the party!! 🎉💃🏻

Hey people, I’m here now, too! I still insist the best app right now is IRL, but I’ll hang out here sometimes with you. My friends tell me it’s pretty cool, as far as Internet cafes go these days. This is me, yesterday, feeling gratitude for my dance community, with daffodils I planted last fall.
