I was born to be a dancer; a performer and I had a big need for self-expression. Body movement was important for me every since I can remember and very slowly I start to understand that I should share my passion with others and begin performing on stage. Let me tell you, that wasn't easy... My first dancing job was in the music theatre in Poland, the pay wasn't good, but it wasn't my priority. At the same time I was studying polish philology at the University and working as a model and secretary. Balancing it all was extremely difficult, but hey it was totally worth it! Quickly I understood that being a performer and life on the stage has their own set of rules, the philosophy of no matter what, "the show must go on" and our adrenaline and passion helped the us, as performers, make it happen. We created a team of people that where connected with a majored shared goal... telling a story through dancing.
After my time with the theater in Poland I toured (dancing and modeling) in Italy, Australia, Luxembourg, Argentina, Dubai and finally China. Through all my touring and passing time it made me conscience of who I am and allowed me to be more open minded. I've met many extraordinary people; I fell in love with discovering different cultures, lifestyles and have infinitely stretched my boundaries of tolerance.
Living in Asia for couple years given me an opportunity to appreciate and enjoy scuba diving. Every chance I get and have a small break I go to the tropical beaches of Thailand, Malaysia and Philippines to dive and soak up the sun and nature, discovering it all with motorbike.
Another important part of my life is painting, using glass, paper, canvas, and even the human body. I also enjoy music, singing, disk jockeying (dj mostly house music), writing and designing clothes. But most of all My big passion is latin dance and latin culture itself. The rhythm of drums awake all my senses.
What does the future hold? Though unknown it most certainly will be outstanding, full optimism, passion, love, dance and art and.............
That's pretty much who I am ... an absolute pleasure to meet YOU!
