About Me

I believe everyone wants to be an artist in some form. I love the arts. I am a dance teacher, teaching urban tribal. Its like african and hip hop together. But i love all types of dance, especially flamenco, salsa, bachata, cha cha, african. And I am learning flamenco and do some shows now. Yoga is also a main part of my life.
I love to meditate everyday as it helps me stay calm and clear. Im really interested in how the mind body connection works.
I also babysit 4 times a week while in Sydney, Australia, with 3 french kids and its fun understanding their minds. I speak fluent spanish because i lived in Guatemala for 3 years and travel to spain a lot to learn flamenco too. I love to paint and have done many murals for people in restaurants.

I love love love nature and animals. I love camping and bushwalking so much.
Im also in a band called Rhythm Hunters and i play african drums and the indonesian xylophone called Gangsa.

Me gusta hacer meditacion cada dia. Tengo mucho interes de la mente y como podemos mejor o dirijir nuestra vida con pensamientos. Tambien, soy artista y hago mucho murales en restaurantes, bares, hosteles y casas. Me encanta musica y bailo flamenco lo que mas me gusta pero tambien salsa, bachata y africano.
Soy maestra de yoga y meditacion, arte y baile. Tambien me encanta animales y la naturaleza.
Hablo ingles y español porque vivia en guatemala por 3 años.

Y toco los tambores africanos y musica de indonesia en un grupo se llama Rhythm Hunters.
