ABOUT ME

Dance Pedagoge with over 10 years of experience in teaching

"Dance is my best therapy"

"through dance I have discovered a thousand ways to express and feel in a corporal way. Dance has not only helped me to discover my body and movements that I am capable of doing, it has also helped me to strengthen my self-esteem and empathize with those who are still in the process".
