Some of the BEST moments of this tour happened off the stage. 🎶

Our band had so many incredible jam sessions with musicians from the other countries performing at . Since we were all staying in the same building, it made it so easy to squeeze in these spontaneous meetups between rehearsals, performances, and everything else happening throughout the festival.

Different countries, different musical traditions, different instruments—but music still became the language we all shared. 🌎🎻🪕

So grateful our musicians got to experience this kind of connection and collaboration along the way. ❤️

We truly had some of the best of the best with us on this tour, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible talent, energy, and professionalism these musicians brought to the stage every single night.

From the first note to the final bow, you were the musical backbone of our shows—and you made every performance that much more special. 🎻🪕

Thank you for traveling with us, playing your hearts out, and helping us bring American music and dance to audiences across Portugal and Spain. We’re so lucky to have shared this adventure with you!

From hopping on a plane in Salt Lake City, Utah ✈️ to performing our last show in Monção, Portugal 💃🏻🕺🏻 – we’re feeling GOOD. 😎

Somewhere between the rehearsals, long bus rides, shared meals, and countless performances, something beautiful happens—we slowly become a family. ❤️🤍💙

These tours are so much more than the performances. It’s bonding as a group, putting in an equal amount of work all the way around to achieve the best outcomes possible, and working as an ensemble to create the most cohesive symmetry on stage. All of this while learning other’s cultures, helping each other through language barriers, showing kindness to others around us, and creating memories with people from places we may have never otherwise known.

We came together from across the US to represent our country as one, but we’re leaving with friendships that feel like they’ll last far beyond the final performance.

Our ensemble had a gift exchange on our last day in Monção and it captured the bond we’ve created so perfectly. 🫶🏼

And just like that, our Portugal/Spain tour is over. 🇵🇹🇪🇸

We’re flying home with messy, day-old performance hair, tired eyes, achy legs, a suitcase full of costumes and worn-out clothes, and a camera roll completely full of memories. There’s always that strange feeling at the end of a tour—so ready for our own beds and our people at home, but wishing we could hit pause just a little longer.

What a grand time it was. The places, the performances, the people, the friendships, the laughter… it’s going to be hard to put this one into words.

Obrigata! Amamos vocês, Portugal!

Until next time. ❤️🇵🇹

A celebration to remember! ✨

closed out the festival with an epic balloon send-off and spectacular fireworks showcase, beautifully choreographed to a live performance of “Never Enough” from The Greatest Showman.

We were absolutely blown away by the finale and by the incredible festival experience from start to finish. We are so grateful to have been invited to be a part of something so special and to share our culture, music, and dance alongside so many incredible countries. 🇺🇸

What a way to end an unforgettable cultural experience.

• MONÇÃO •

Our final performance brought us right back to the beautiful host town of Monção, where we’ve called home for nearly two weeks. 🇵🇹

Well over 3,000 people gathered to witness one unforgettable finale as USA, Brazil, Serbia, Bulgaria, Ecuador, Taiwan, Portugal, and Armenia came together for one final performance and send-off. 🌎

After nearly two weeks of dancing, traveling, and sharing our cultures, it’s hard to imagine a more spectacular way to close out this festival.

Thank you, Folk O Mundo a Dançar, for an experience we’ll carry with us for a lifetime. This will undoubtedly go down as one of the most memorable finales—and festivals—we’ve been a part of. 🇺🇸
