About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find the baddest bacon cheeseburger with sauteed onions. The naughtiest one in the world will be mine.

ABOUT ME

Simply put, I'm an open, positive, loving, adventurous spirit. I'm never fully satiated with life and crave adventure, learning a new angle, and meeting another warm soul. Learning to simply be.

I spend my day working in industrial management. Then at nights I teach and perform acrobatics - mostly partner acrobatics. LOVE to travel and/or go dancing on weekends

Grew up in the the Bronx, New York. Lived and traveled across much of America, as part of my complicated and wonderful journey of life. I'm a movement enthusiast. Nay, movement FANATIC. I can't stop learning new arts of movement! Danced Hip hop and breakdancing for a few years and managed to mix in parkour and gymnastics. 7 years ago yoga grabbed hold of my heart, which evolved into Acroyoga and circus arts, my current movement lover. There's nothing like the art of two bodies merging in infinite ways, sharing their space to create perfect shapes and forms, in perfect synchrony. It's a form of communication that doesn't need mere words and requires trust in our partners and even more trust in ourselves. I love sharing this skill with others and practice often, so let me know if you want info about this beautiful art! For the past few months I wake up in the morning and think,"I'm so excited to train later today!" It's awesome to find something like that for my WILD mind :D

PHILOSOPHY

Keep one eye on the target but focus your energies on the process.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performed at Lincoln Center.

Teach, Learn, Share

I LOVE to share skills of acrobatics and dance. Practicing with my own body is awesome. Practicing with another is like being reborn into the "old" movement. Ask me anything!

Also, in the last few months I've been practicing on how to give to others with more care and love. Mostly, through the medium of Thai massage. I love to share lovingly with others, which is truly a gift to myself and others. Careful though, I'm a pro. Once you go "Mendel" everyone else will feel too difficult to handle 😈

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tricks. I can teach you to fetch and how to... My bad. Wrong site :P

Actually, I can teach ya tricks! You will be thrown around in ways that'll make ya feel giddy like a little boy or girl and I can share with you the art of partner balancing. It's truly beautiful and no matter your movement background it will blow your mind and guarantee smiles. And heck, go back home to your friends and impress their socks off.

Thai massage. Check the last section ^
