About Me

I moved 2 years ago in Lyon. It is a turning point in my life. For the time being I am giving Biodanza classes in a home for very old people. I am so happy to see their smiles on their faces when listening and dancing to music. Even people with Elzeimer's can really have a great time in our classes!!
I am also a volunteer in an association which help refugees to get visa and papers (CIMADE). My job consists in giving a hand to write CVs and letters of motivation as well as facilitating their stay in Lyon.
I have met Dominique in Lyon. He is my partner now and we are planning to leave Lyon in a few years to live in the country side. We want to have a garden and a house to welcome our children (4 in total) and grand child (1).
