Dear Bare Feet™ Fans!

This has truly been a summer of travel - my lovely home of New York City has been just a hub for me this past month or so. I recently returned from Italy, having the privilege of teaching at La Luna Dance Center in Ancona, Italy, also stopping along the way in Minturno to visit family and friends.

Soon I will be heading to the Crooked Road of Virginia to experience the roots of Americana music and dance. I have three stops along my route: the Galax Old Fiddler's Convention, the Floyd Country Store Friday night Jamboree and the Carter Family Fold!

And then from there, Bare Feet™ will be shooting the International Tango Festival in Buenos Aires, Argentina! A special thanks to Borello Travel & Tours for their sponsorship and help in organizing this shoot, we are so grateful!

I am so excited to be able to share these adventures with you, and as always, THANK YOU for the support! See you in Virginia and happy summer!
