CURRENT MISSION
I'm just keeping things simple and myself happy.

ABOUT ME
I'm a contemporary dancer looking for new experiences! I have two master desgrees in Dance Composition and Dance Pedagogy at Folkwang Universität in Essen, Germany.
I think I'm really easy-going. I have a very good sense of personal space and respect that as much as I can. I'm very clean - I mean very, very clean - and I like for my house to be just as clean. I'm not a party animal, so you won't see me in crowded places, clubs or anywhere I can't hear the sound of my own voice. Surfers can expect me to take them around the city, sit down in nice places for drinks, good food and hanging with cool people. Of that I can assure. I guess I try to take it easy all the time, respect my own body, and have nice conversations with interesting people who I can become friends with.

PHILOSOPHY I pratice imperfection.
