Bellydance & Yoga
Movement has been part of my life since I can remember.
I was born in Brazil, and when I was around 3 or 4, I started taking ballet lessons. A few years later I moved on to jazz and rhythmic gymnastics. The gymnastics training taught me discipline and strength from a very early age, while jazz taught me the beauty of fluid movement. I studied and performed jazz and modern dance until late in my teens. In my early twenties I studied Latin rhythms and ballroom.
I moved to Ireland just before turning 24. And soon after that, I fell in love 3 times.
Firstly, I fell in love with yoga. My body had been pushed so hard with my dance and gymnastics training, that I did not know I could make it so healthy and strong by being so gentle to it. Yoga opened my mind, my eyes (and my hips!!) like nothing had ever before.
Then, I fell in love with Tribal Bellydance. I mean, WOW! Tribal Bellydancers move in a way that makes them look absolutely sexy and so so powerful. I just HAD to go and try it for myself, and 6 years later I’m still madly in love with it, teaching and performing as much as I can.
And then I fell in love with The Boy. My husband. We are currently building our love nest in the West of Ireland and working on our many plans together.
And here are two things you (probably) don't know about me:
- I have a degree in translation and I have been working as a translator for over 13 years
- I am a PMP-certified project manager and have worked as a PM for over 7 years
If you want to know more about the dancer, the translator or the PM, hang out with me in my blog or email me.
I also hang out here:
