A Cool Place I Visited While Dancing on a Tour
yes! Rio de Janeiro! So much fun!

A Dance-Related Injury
I had a sprained ankle when I was 16 and it took me 6 months to fully recover.

Other Passions & Interests
I love to create my own art from everything around me. Make a dance, take photos, make costumes, make jewelry, sketch, draw, paint...

Why do you dance?
I dance because I have to! Is something I have to do...

What do you love about dancing?
What I love about dancing is that I'm just in the moment.

What's the hardest part of being a dancer?
The hardest part of being a dancer for me is that it is a constant challenge between mind, body and heart. It is extremely pleasant to be in tune with it all, but trying to make a living financially is something we dancers struggle with...
