Hello, Masala Bhangra family!
I hope this newsletter finds you in great spirits! I wanted to share an inspiring and heartwarming story about a recent collaboration that truly touched my heart.
One week ago today, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Marco Hurtado, also known as @bearded__boomer on social media. Marco's journey is remarkable and a testament to the power of stepping out of one's comfort zone to embrace new passions.
Marco worked at Pfizer for an impressive 30 years before facing an unexpected layoff a few years ago. As you can imagine, the prospect of finding a new corporate job in his 50s was daunting and filled him with worry. However, it was during this challenging time that he had a profound realization – he wasn't truly passionate about his previous career in Global Regulatory Compliance.
With a heart full of courage and a desire for genuine happiness, Marco decided to pursue a completely different path. He began teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to both adults and children, finding joy and fulfillment in sharing this martial art. But Marco's journey didn't stop there. He also embraced his love for dance, entertaining thousands on Instagram and TikTok with his vibrant and energetic performances. His passion and talent even earned him a spot as a competitor on Shakira’s NBC show “Dancing With Myself”!
Marco joined me to learn some Masala Bhangra. He understood the assignment and approached it with enthusiasm, grace, and a willingness to step out of his comfort zone. Seeing him embrace Masala Bhangra, despite it being a new experience, was truly heartwarming. It’s moments like these that remind me why I am so passionate about sharing this easy to follow dance program with the world. Check out what we did here!
Exciting news! I am coming to India!!!!!!! I will be teaching a Masala Bhangra Workshop on Saturday, August 10th in Mumbai! Want to come? Email me for details!
Keep dancing, stay healthy, and spread the joy!
With love,
Sarina Jain
