For a long time I have noticed what Brazilian dancer Pablo Guerreiro tells me here today: Michael Jackson was a "Malandro" (Style of Samba Dancer). Somehow, on MJ videos, especially on the "Smooth Criminal" video, you notice that his style is all too similar to the mythical Brazilian "Malandro" for it to be a coincidence.

Well, Michael Jackson was a talented dancer, and I am glad to tell you that so is my guest on this episode today. On this show, I interview Pablo and share a bit of his dance with you.

Pablo Guerreiro is a dancer and teacher who truly enjoys sharing his love for Samba with the world. He is light and smooth on his feet, and you can see why here today why Pablo says that his Samba is influenced by the King of Pop, the forever missed Michael Jackson. 

Last year, Pablo and I worked together on a Samba duet, part choreographed and part improvisation, and performed together at the International Samba Congress in Los Angeles.

Please take a moment to watch this interview....

Today I bring to you an interview with Brazilian Dancer and Teacher Dill Costa. Born in Rio de Janeiro Dill teaches in Chicago, USA now at The Old School of Folk Music.  Dill Costa has amazing energy and deeply care about her students. Her class is full of rhythm and beautiful smiles. 

I am in love with her spirit. She is truly a great human being and and teacher. Enjoy this great interview!  

Warm Brazilian Hugs,
