ABOUT ME

About me...I am a dancer and that is what I love to do. I love to teach children ballet, modern and creative movement. I worked with the National Ballet of Paraguay, which is a contemporary company, for 9 years. It was really my life. Also I graduated as a Graphic designer...I think art is part of my life. I finished my MFA in Dance in the States...and now I am doing the GAGA teachers program in Tel Aviv.
I also love traveling, salsa dancing, music,getting to know different cultures and meeting people. I enjoy very much being able to have a good conversation with people, I think that for me that is quiet important.
I also love photography.

PHILOSOPHY

"Everything happens for a reason" I think that is my favorite quote when things doesn't happen the way I expected.
Enjoy life...you never know what is going to happen to you tomorrow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bag Packing to MAchupichu, it was an amazing trip. I went there with 5 friends. We took the bus from Asuncion to different cities in Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. It was 24 days of just nice experiences. Doing the inca trail I recommend to everyone because is worth it.
Also, I lived in Cuba for 3 month with a UNESCO scholarship for dance. This trip changed my life. I enjoy every second of being there. I went by myself and I meet a lot of fantastic people.
