CURRENT MISSION

Dance! And make the world a better place through dance.

ABOUT ME

Above all, I enjoy life. Dancing is my passion and education a big interest. But I'm also a travel junky. There's just so much to see, learn and experience. So many amazing people to meet. The world is too small to stay in one place!

I was born in Brazil and lived there until I was 14. Then my mom moved to Holland and brought her kids along. We moved to Rotterdam, where everyday is a trip around the world with it's 176 different nationalities. LOVE IT!

Love cooking for my friends too. :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Live, love, live, love, live, love and dance!

Interests

People grab my attention. A person can be so mean, but also so selfless. My passion is dance, and I love to see how it can transform people. Culture can transform people, but I feel that dance can do the most. There's is not only contact with yourself, but also with others.

Everything around me grabs my attention actually. I believe all is connected and I like getting thing that are never put together and searching for the connection between them.

So, in short I would say "Life grabs my attention!"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've pulled an all-nighter with my 82 year old grandmother this year (2011) in Rio. And she's the one who took me out, to watch the samba schools in Rio who'd won the carnaval contest. That's pretty amazing to experience. Especially because I was soooo tired and she just kept on going. My grandma rules!!
