Just a dancer taking time off from the workforce to get a little exploring in and strengthen her game on the dance floor. I'm hoping to add more dance styles to my repertoire and melt it all together for some fantastic fusion! Easy going, good listener, takes up little space, and I have no allergies. I have a pretty dark sense of humor, but I usually keep it reined in until I can gauge your comfort level.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My apartment in Greater Boston has been a haven for traveling dancers for a couple years. Now I'm traveling to attend dance events, see old friends, make new friends, and explore.
