"Mickela Mallozzi dances with the same fervor that Anthony Bourdain brought to eating, that Sam Brown brings to vacationing, and that Rick Steves brings to doing Europe on a shoestring. She's tapped alongside Broadway's best, tangoed with Argentinians, and danced to the doyra in Uzbekistan's UNESCO World Heritage City of Bukhara-to name just a few highlights from her PBS travel series, Bare Feet with Mickela Mallozzi, where she dives into the boundless world of dance."
"While some travelers get to know a place by studying its unwritten rules or tracking down the very best version of an iconic food, Mallozzi begins by listening for its rhythms. Since her show premiered in 2014, she has continued sharing what she had always done on the road-embracing the uniquely human impulse to move, and move with each other."
A PBS travel-dance series uses dance as the primary lens to explore cultural identity, community rituals, and social healing around the world. The host brings Broadway and international dance experience, having tapped with Broadway performers, tangoed in Argentina, and danced to the doyra in Bukhara. Since its 2014 premiere, the series has focused on listening for local rhythms rather than typical sightseeing. Season eight travels to Cuba's beaches, Taiwan's interior mountains, and New Zealand's Māori communities. Episodes examine the healing politics of dance, efforts to build a public-media platform, and a dozen years of international dance encounters. Season eight streams on PBS and Amazon Prime.
