It’s here! 🎉

#BareFeetSeries Season 8 has officially started on pbs - as these new episodes make their way into the world, I’m forever grateful for the adventures I get to share with you all, including these brand new stories of dance, music, culture and connection.

The number 8 is closely connected to the infinity symbol, and to have arrived at this point, 8 seasons later, 63 episodes total of a project that I had imagined in a dream 15 years ago, I’m proud of my team and honestly of the endless persistence and hard work it has taken to get here.  It’s been an incredibly challenging and beautiful year at the same time - our storytelling just continues to grow!

Highlights from our Season 8 adventures include:

Taiwan: Past & Present – Dancing the indigenous Bulareyaung Dance Company!

Māori in Aotearoa (New Zealand) – Learning the haka on the pitch of Eden Park!

Matariki in Aotearoa (New Zealand) – Celebrating Māori New Year!

Indigenous Taiwan – Singing & dancing with the Amis & Tsou Indigenous tribes!

Tainan City, Taiwan – Drumming with Ten Drum in Taiwan’s oldest city!

Havana, Cuba – Dancing my way through the diverse cultural fabric of Havana.

A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who helped make this new season possible, especially taiwantourism.na, visitauckland, ngatiwhatuaorakei, and likeacuban.

To our sponsors and supporters of this new season, including the newest additions to the Bare Feet Family, intrepidtravel & chinaairlines.usa, and our ongoing supporters, bloombergconnects, The Yuen Foundation, and the Ann H. Symington Foundation and fan supporters, we couldn’t do this without you!

To my crew - thank you for being part of this adventure with me! meremaidrae, lina_lyte, mainmanjon, evancarters_party, _jackmcgovern, dflashg, shih_chun_yao, jenna_escalera
