“Through art, we have the ability to move people and change them at the core.
We make them dream, be more aware, think, connect with themselves, with their own humanity.
I believe, through art, we work for the world peace. We are lights in the darkness. We are hope in despair. We are laughter and lightness in drama. We are reflection in stupidity. We are whole in a world that loves separation.
Thank you for sharing yourselves and a bit of that dream with me.”
What you need to know about me...
"Staying Alive", directed by Sylvester Stallone is THE movie that made me decide to be a dancer when I was 7 years old. I am a very passionate and dedicated in Life but even more when it comes to work. My motto: "Never Give Up." I am a dreamer. I always had a fascination for the hippy community. Peace & Love & Freedom. I wish sometimes I would have lived in the 70's. I love to go clubbing, reaching this trance-like feeling, being connected with others and feeling Free. I love traveling around the world to discover new cultures, to encounter surprising and inspiring people on the road. I have a little preference for countries with high spirituality. I always try to be more open-minded, less resistant, more welcoming, in a constant research for Happiness.
