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, Carret...

Hi, today I'm going to talk about my favorite photograph, it was easy for me to think of this picture because it shows Manuel and Esperanza, they're my great-grandparents and the picture shows  smiling and loving look they always had and I remember from them. I don't remember the exact date it was taken, but I know it was taken by my mother in the summer of 2000 at my great-grandparents plot in San Esteban, Los Andes. I love the history of my great-grandparents, I feel lucky to have met them because I could see that they always loved each other in a sincere and respectful way, they had a very particular nickname, he called her "Palomita" and she called him "Palomito" (I don't know why) and they have been the most faithful reflection that I have about love in time, good love, this is the reason why I chose this picture, I like it because I feel that it reflects how happy they were together and that's the memory the whole family has of them. ...

Hi! I'm not have any favorite TV show because in general I've never liked to watch tv, and I'm not really sure if I have a favorite serie now but I'm going to talk about a serie that I really liked when I was a little girl and that's serie is Glee. I started watching Glee in 2010, when  I was 11 years old, it's is a long serie with 6 seasons. I liked it because it's about  teenager's life  and their problems, like love, studies, differents dreams, etc and it's also linked to art because some of them are singers or dancers or both. I have seen more series that I have liked but Glee is special because when I see it again I remember how my life was at that time. I have some series that I would like to see, like Dark or Breaking bad but I don't usually give myself the time to watch series, I prefer documentaries. Maybe I'll see them someday, I don't know The last serie I saw was "Sex Education" so if I had to recommend a se...

Hi everyone! It's complicated for me to think what is my favorite piece of technology because in general I'm not very technologycal but if I had to choose one now, I choose my cellphone. I've had this cellphone since last year, but I didn't used so much, just the usual, to make calls, talk on Whatsapp, take pictures and the most importantly, use the map so I would't get lost in Santiago. In this quarentine, my relationship with my cellphone changed. Now I don't bother using the cellphone, actually I like because I can feel closer to the people I want to be with, it's sad but is the reality now. So I usually make videocalls, specially with my boyfriend who lives in Santiago and my friends. Every day I use my cellphone but just when I talk to other people, listen to music, and do other specific things, not all day. Now I do different things that I didn't used to do before with the apps. For example, I read and learn new recipes in Instagram, then I ...

When I was 7 years old, I remember that I wanted to be a astronaunt because I loved the stars and looking the sky and the moon. I liked to climb to the roof of my house at night and I usually used my dad's binocular to see better and I remember I thought I could to arrive at the stars. Now I no longer think that I can touch the stars but I still enjoy looking the stars from anywhere. After time, in the school I didn't like to think what to study because I felt a lot of pression from my family, but I always knew I wanted to study dance because it's what I love, but I was afraid of fail. When I left to school I had a free year to decide what to study but I used to prepare for audition in two universities that I was interesed at that time to study dance. My "second option" was to stay to study in Puerto Montt but I don't know what I would have a studied because I don't really have a second option, maybe I would have studied to be veterinarian, I don...

Hi!  my name is Paula, I'm 21 years old.  I was born in Puerto Montt, Chile in 1999 and I grew up in this city until I get up 18 years old because I went to live alone in Santiago for my university studies. I'm study Dance in Universidad de Chile since 2018 and I have made a really good friends in this place and I've learned a lot. No one in my family is an artist, we are different between us. I have two brothers. My older brother is a doctor and my little brother goes to the school. One of my hobbies is do it kayak in Llanquihue Lake or Villarica Lake with my dad and ride my bike anywhere. When it's rains I like cooking with my mom for all my family or watch movies and documentaries. I love to climb hills and I enjoy camp where's not there much people. In general I love the nature and the animals, so I'm trying every day to make it possible to take care of the planet and have more sustainable life.
