About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Professional ballet dancer I currently trying to integrate a dance company in the United States

ABOUT ME

I'm just a girl who wants to discover, learn and appreciate all that life has to offer.
Time and many things are totally out of control ...love, share, laugh, debate, feel, enjoy ... Are not!
I want to take everything that human beings of different countries, customs, traditions, cultures have to give.
I do not want to be limited by the habits and prejudices.

I am also a passionate dancer and the only way for me to feel complete and bacanced is when I m am on stage or in classes.
After 18 months of traveling in Canada and Usa, I am now moving in and work in America. I just get an artist work visa for 3 years.

PHILOSOPHY

-"better remorse than regrets"
-"Just go with the flow"

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Currently,my favorite band is Antony and the Jonhsons, I dream of having the opportunity to see them in concert one day...

I like particulary Barbara,J.Baez,V.Sanson,S.Reggiani,P.Nutini,D.Saez,B.Iver....and many other french artists all generations together.

For me what makes the difference between a good movie and a film that we do not forget it is the ST!

I am crazy about Cinema since I m a little girl because of my mum and my oncle who were passionnate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-My travels in the Dominican Republic, Kenya, and Vietnam are among my fondest memories...
-In 2012 I crossed the Corsica ( the island of beauty) by hiking the montains from north to south during 16 days .
-In Marsh 2013, I was in NY and supposed to go home,but the day before my departure I decided to let go my ticket back already paid for Paris and take a single ride for the west coast... where I knew nobody

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like that the experience of "couch surfing" enrich me humanly, intellectually, culturally ...
I would like to learn from people who live in different worlds than mine...
I would like to know and learn other ways of living, other ways of life, discovering new songs ,new composers, new texts...

When I am traveling, or meeting news people I can see the infinity of things that life and relationship have to offer , I can see the further
