Dear Bare Feet™ Fans,

Happy Valentine's Day! There is nothing but love in the air for Bare Feet™, and I am so appreciative of all of the support we have gotten in the past month! Not only has Bare Feet™ been rocking it in the press (see below!), but today we launch our passionate Bare Feet™ in Buenos Aires series on Travel+Escape in Canada (don't worry, non-Canucks, more love will come your way when these tango episodes air in mid-March on our YouTube channel). And a massive THANK YOU to our Argentina sponsors who helped make this tango adventure possible - Borello Travel & Tours, Design Suites, and Tango Porteño!

And in celebration of Saint Valentine's Day and all things loverly, we have a BONUS VIDEO for this week's Bare Feet™ episode on our YouTube channel, featuring my most wonderful and lovable Nonna Pina! Click here for an adorable cooking lesson with my favorite chef - you can't help but fall in love with her!

So spread the love today - with friends, with family, with your dog, with anyone!

The Bare Feet™ Launch Party

Last month, we kicked off the launch of the Bare Feet™ Web Series in Italy in style! In celebration of signing with Big Frame, one of YouTube's new media companies, we had an Italian-inspired festa full of food, drink, and music! The event could not have been as amazing as it was without the support from our host La Casa Italiana Zarilli-Marimó, along with our other incredibly generous sponsors Colavita USA, City Winery New York, Anheuser-Busch, and The Ailey Extension. A special thanks goes out to our musical entertainment for the evening, Emilio Magnotta on accordion; to our photographer, Frank Hill; to the lovely Rashida Bolden of Color My Face for making Mickela look so spectacular; and of course to the Mallozzi family whose constant support (and need to feed everyone) has always been an inspiration to Mickela! Grazie mille a tutti!

Along with the Big Frame news, Mickela announced the launch of the upcoming Bare Feet™ Tours to be offered later this year. As an initiative to bring Bare Feet™ back to its roots, Mickela is partnering with small tour companies, the first to be Walks of Italy, to offer a day tour in Puglia, Italy. Not only will the tour feature the beautiful sites of Bari and its history, but it will also include workshops and dance sessions of the local traditional dance, la pizzica! The Bare Feet™ Tours are directly inspired by actual episodes that have aired or will soon be airing so that viewers can experience firsthand the wonderful dances Mickela gets to learn in all of these amazing places! Stay tuned for more information on upcoming Bare Feet™ Tours in 2013!
