Resumen
Sobre mí
I am 33 years old, CEO of a competition dance studio in Atlanta, GA, Founder of a 501(c)3 grant writing program for kids,. I am here in Los Angeles, soul searching after the tragic and sudden death of my son, husband and father. I am strong enough again to begin to expand the non profit here, eventually to KC, Portland, NYC then I will take it across seas in about seven years. The loss of my family and subsequent letting go of all I had built has made Much room for new, and Much drive to look deep within for the only way out. I honor my struggle, though I do not let it keep me down, nor make me bitter. I am trying, hard to stay afloat and for the time being, until I am all the way steady again, I am doing the things that feed my soul and keeping myself from the danger in the streets, especially now while I am vulnerable and alone. I have a good head on my shoulders, a thick moral fiber, a strong work ethic and above all, a Lot of Faith. As your guest, I will always be mindful, respectful, honest, open and trustworthy. I see it may be a little tricky at first, until I am able to build friends and lines of trust on here but I know who I am and I know it shines through, so it won't take long. I am an excellent cook, and always clean after myself. I am interesting to talk to and have a good sense of humor. Intellect and integrity are two things I hold dear. I'm not too hard on the eyes, should someone choose to look, but no matter how long or hard they may stare, I do not hide anything so paranoia and sketchiness aren't things I indulge in. I know it will take everything I've got but I've got what it takes. I am eager to see where this brings me :D

Algo increíble que he hecho
Started from the bottom, climbed to the top, paraglided from the crescent and rebuilt where I landed. Faced down my demons, drove away my fears, triumphed when all was stacked against me and never built my ego from win nor was torn down from loss. I also have been to Tenerife, spent 6 weeks in Europe, traveled through 17 states as well as Mexico and Hawaii. I was the half time entertainment in the Hula Bowl, opening and closing dancer for the 96 Olympics and held the title for Best Dancer for three years in a row on the national level.
Enseña, aprende, comparte
I am a dance teacher, starting at the mommy and me all the way through adult, tap, ballet, lyrical, contemporary, Jazz (classical and Fosse) Hip Hop, Musical Theatre, Salsa, Fox Trot, Two Step,. Waltz, wedding choreography, flash dance mob choreography, specialized instruction for autistic children as well as for sports conditioning for Athletes and physical rehab for those who have been injured.
I also tutor math and speech students.
I am learning circus arts (trapeze, silks and the likes), taking classes in self development and I am looking to learn a bit more about the aquatic side off things as I am debating a degree in marine biology and I feel aquatic knowledge on all factors is important.
I teach myself three new things each year, and this year I want to learn how to sail, how to beat box and how to do an aerial.
(Last year was how to ride a bike, how to walk and drink and how to let go). I choose this approach as opposed to the standard "New Years resolution". I find I am kinder to myself when I look at me with the "things would be easier if I could...." instead of "I would be better if I didn't ...". May not work for everyone but certainly helps me with Me.
