In this episode with Ricardo Ferreira we discuss dancing in Europe.

This episode was difficulty do to the poor network connections.

But there is still a lot of value in this.

A lot of what Mr. Ricardo spoke about could easily be translated to everyday life. 

It was an absolute pleasure to have him on the show !
