[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”What is your dancing style(s)?” open=”true”]I am addicted to the Horton and Graham techniques[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What made you choose this style?” open=”true”]I met my first Graham and Horton mentors more than a decade ago, then I was incredibly lucky to perform the Horton and Graham repertory on stage shortly after while I was still in training, this is perhaps why I fell in love with both techniques so quickly, these techniques are born on stage, so performing them reinforced my love and respect for Martha Graham and Lester Horton. I did notchoose; I was chosen to learn to share my knowledge today.
\nThis is what I believe. It is my destiny.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”When and how did you start dancing?” open=”true”]A few people know that, but I started my professional dance journey extremely late. I was born a dancer, always danced, however, my first professional encounter with dance was ballet and I started in my early 20s.I am obsessed and when I want something I get it. I wanted to become a dancer despite my late start and many people who did not believe in me. 15 years later I am proud to say that I have a career.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Any memorable dancing experiences?” open=”true”]Oh my, so many! Dancing with the B\u00e9jart Ballet Lausanne while Maurice B\u00e9jart was still alive is quite memorable. It was a tiny role, and I am so grateful for that. I will never forget the first time that I performed Graham on stage\u2026Wow! So powerful, never felt anything like that before! And finally, studying the Horton and Graham techniques in NYC after winning a prestigious scholarship is also one of my biggest achievements. I am so lucky, and I thank Godfor that. I am kind of at the right place at the right moment quite often, I trust the Universe and its limitless power. There are no coincidences.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”One person you would like to dance for or with?” open=”true”]I realized one of my dreams with Maurice B\u00e9jart. He was on my list. I would have love dancing with Martha Graham and Lester Horton! What a dream![\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What does dance mean to you?” open=”true”]Dance is my life, it means everything and nothing at the same time because I do not think, I feel dance, it is part of me, as I often say to my students, we are not learning to dance in vocational schools, we learn technique. Dance is within us all. We are one.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Do you prefer to perform or teach and why?” open=”true”]Wow, I love the question! So hard to say, I cannot answer. I could not be the teacher I am without my stage experience; dance must be shared and without it we cannot really feel the essence of dance. Therefore, I strongly advice my students to dance first then to teach later when they are ready. I seriously cannot answer, I do love both equally, it is dance but it is not the same thing. It is not comparable.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”If you weren\u2019t a dancer, you would have been ?” open=”true”]A Chef![\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Describe yourself or your story in under 25words.” open=”true”]This is the story of a young man who wanted to dance.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?” open=”true”]I love this question too. Very tricky though. I founded M-Intensive Online Dance Training 1 year ago and I created M-Intensive University 1 year later. These platforms are dedicated to the Horton and Graham techniques. I would love them both to keep shining and inspiring people to share around them my love, our love for Graham and Horton. I do have other plans; however, I am not the one revealing everything\u2026<\/p>\n

So, keep an eye open and see you in 10 years![\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
