Dance is  an expression of self and a mind-clearing practice. A fan of folk styles and fusion, I am interested in bringing together styles to find new authentic physical vocabularies.

​

In addition to choreographing in theatre, I dip my toes in the world of the dance regularly.

​

I have practiced belly dance for 19 years (traditional Egyptian, American Cabare, and fusion). I discovered contemporary dance in 2016 and it echoed  my early training in physical theatre in a way that I was immediately hooked up. Many techniques and exercises have made their way into my theatrical practices. 

​

Growing up in Brazil also means I was doing the samba, forro, and funk carioca as soon as I could walk. Latin styles and partner dancing will always have a special place in my heart.

​

I am also always eager to go outside of my comfort zone and take classes in styles that are not natural to me but that enhance the dialogue with my moving body.
