I think I am very clear about the job I want for my future, which is to be a professional dancer and work in a dance company. I imagine it fantastic and full of challenges, I have always been a person who fights for his dreams, and you can dance in a company more than being my job, it would be a dream for me. Obviously to work as a dancer you need to work indoors (or most of the time). I would love to be able to travel around the world dancing, getting to know cultures and learning from many dancers around the world.   The best thing about being a dancer is that I don't need to be in an office, because I'm very restless and it's hard for me to sit for so long haha.  To be a dancer I am studying a Bachelor of Arts with a major in dance, which helps me to be able to get that dream job. Despite not finishing my degree at the university, I have already had the opportunity to work in a company as a dancer, something that encouraged me even more to want to dedicate myself to danc...

 I think the person I would like to meet is Maria Khoreva, a 21 year old Russian dancer. My desire to meet her comes because she is the youngest dancer to become a soloist at the Mariinsky Ballet.  She looks like a very disciplined person and passionate about what she likes, that's something I highlight and try to imitate from her. Khoreva was born in St. Petersburg, and at the age of 10 she entered the famous Russian ballet school Vaganova.  She managed to enter the professional Mariinsky Ballet Company at the age of 18 and signed as an ambassador of the famous Nike brand. I highlight her personality, perseverance and the work she puts into her career. I hope one day I can meet her and see her dance live, which must be a great show and truly a luxury.  Maybe the world of dance will bring us together at some point in life haha xd.  Bye.  

 I remember perfectly well that day. It was the third performance of a dance show with which we toured the Maule region. I remember that for that tour we had a creative process of a year to create the work, after that many hours of rehearsal to achieve what we wanted.  The day was very sunny in 2017 and we had to dance in the square of the town of Romeral, a town located north of Curico. People began to arrive very early to see us and enjoy the play. By the time the show started, the square was full of people and mostly children. At the end, a little boy came up to me with his mother to ask me for a picture, since he loved the way I danced and he told me that he really liked to dance and that his dream was to be a dancer. At that moment I was very excited, because I felt that I had been the inspiration of someone else, and even more of a child, which made me remember when I was little and I just liked to move and jump from one side to another. It was a very beautiful moment an...
