The Travelers

Mickela Mallozzi is a dance instructor turned television host of the travel show called Bare Feet, which has aired on Travel and Escape and NYC Life, a PBS affiliate in New York. Starting in the Fall of 2015, Bare Feet will be nationally distributed on PBS in the US and Canada. Each episode, she travels to a new place and embeds herself into the people there through the traditions of dance. Occasionally, I speak with painters and photographers on this show, but I’ve never discussed dance — which, like food, is easily one of the most elemental and original expressions running through the blood of any culture. Through the lens of both the camera and dance, Mickela has explored Buenos Aires, Uzbekistan, Puerto Rico, Curacao, Italy, Germany, Ireland, all 50 states, and her home, New York City - and more places. She’s also the organizer of the Women’s Travel Fest, which is held annually around the end of February, this year in San Francisco.
