About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spending 3 months in Europe to audition for ballet/contemporary companies. Also interested in meeting new people and making new connections.

ABOUT ME

Hello! I am orrigianlly for France, but moved to California at the age of 7. One of my favorite things about living in San Francisco is the way of life - people are socially accepting and open minded, people live green and take care of their bodies and are open to spiritual practices (such as meditation). I practice Yoga and Qi Gong to better understand my place in the world, and to gather positive Chi engery within my body. I use singing bowls, bells, and a gong for sound healing and chakra opening. This enables me to have a bigger stage presence when I dance, and to feel more connected to my body and Earth. I'm a picese, so I am easily moved and affected by other people. Love and compassion are things I practice everyday. I will say that the reson I'm an artist is because that is the easiest way for me to communicate to others. I can be quiet at times, or take some time to open up.. but I am generally outgoing and love to go out to the bars or a restaurant and have a good time.Here is my DANCE tube REEL: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL429E0B8B92E827F1

PHILOSOPHY

Living in the present moment and appreciating the small things in life.
Love and compassion are two things I practice everyday.
