CARRER-RELATED WEBSITE OR AN EXPERT ON YOUR FIELD

Hi. I'm going to talk about one of my favorite people in the dance world. Her name is Carolina Contreras, my first contemporary dance teacher.
Carolina must be about 35 years old and after a long time dancing and teaching in differents places in Chile, like Concepción or Valparaiso, she moved to Puerto Montt, the place where I met her.
I met her when I was 12-13 years old, I don't remember exactly and it was in a free "afro-colombian" dance workshop and she was the teacher. From day one I really liked her classes so I started taking all her classes in Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas, and thanks to her I learned about contemporary dance and the history of many Afro-Latin Dancers.
I love the way she teaches and I deeply admire his passion and all that she has lived and learned to be a great artist. She inspired me to study dance and I think I'll always enjoys her classes. <3 


In the Pictures you will see an open class that Carolina did in Metri, Carretera Austral in the summer of 2018. She was dressed in black.
I put those pictures up because I think they reflect the unity and the enjoyment of dancing in community and in a nature.

Post 4 : What are you really into?

My quarantine has been divided because sometimes I do a lot of things, but from everything I have learned in this time I can say that I really like cooking.  Some time ago I didn't know how to cook anything! and when I make the decision to be vegan I discovered new flavours and I fell in love with vegan food. Before I became a vegan, I didn't know what I was eating, and now it's something I've become very interested in, I've taken conscious online courses cooking. I love learning new things and cooking for the people I love. I hope to learn more, and who knows? maybe one day I have a vegan food shop in the south, as a side job, because  I feel there are few opcions for people who don´t consume animals products :(

Post 5: My future job

 I'm afraid to think about the future, I feel that it is very uncertain, just look at this pandemic and how it destroyed many plans :( so I think that I dont want to make expectations of a great future life, I simply want to make an effort for what I want If I could control the future, I would like to giving dance classes, specially to people who do not know dance at all. I know that the road is very difficult  especially in Chile, but I must continue, I'm here even if it is not easy and before that giving classes, I would like to travel and learn abroad and have more experience in dance to be able to teach afterwards and raise to raise money. Something I think about working with childrens, other times I have thought about working with the erderly, and groups of people where it is not easy for them to access dance, because I believe that dance is for everyone and it is a space that the universe gives us to let go of the everyday and make us a little crazy for a little moment in

Post: My best vacation

 My best vacation was in Pucon in december 2016 when I left school. It was not yet summer, but we had to celebrate with my group of best friends (we were 7) that we had given up PSU and left  a school we always hated, and that we would finally do what we wanted (innocent teenagers) I remember that my parents didn't want me to go because it could be dangerous and I had my study tour with my whole couse recently, but I ended up traveling anyway. We went to Pucon and stayed at a friend's parent's house. We spend a week in Pucón, we didn´t do so many things, just drink alcohol like crazys and enjoy the beach, we had to leave Pucon because the house was going to rent a few days, so we went to Villarrica,Lican Ray, Coñaripe, Caburgua Lake and Calafquén Lake, in those places we camped and did activitis like Canopy and rafting. I think we traveled 3 weeks in total, I'm not sure.  Before this travel I had visited Pucon and all those places but with my family, and this was my fir
