Hi everyone! I really have many countries in mind that I want to get to know, but the most important for me is England, there are many very good dance schools where I could learn one day. I also love culture in general, the pronunciation of English, the architecture and history and musical artists, like Queen, The Beatles, Eric Clapton, and others that I like very much. I don´t have a specific city to visit, just the only place I want to know if I go someday is "The Making of Harry Potter" and the platform 9 3/4 because I love Harry Potter and it would be to make my childhood dream come true. I really hope to have the experiencie of knowing this country someday, and confirm everything my friends and my family have told me about it, so if I go I hope not to be disappointed and enjoy it to the fullest!! 

Hi everyone, honestly this semester has been very complicated, because all my plans were affected by the pandemic that is affecting the world, but still good things have happened to me like being with my family after two years away from home, and being able to enjoy the south and my home, I have been able to visit those places that I used to frequent since I was a child. The university is one of the things that has not worked well, it has been very difficult and horrible to have  online classes in the middle of a global pandemic, I do not know, sometimes I wonder how necessary in this context is to continue studying and why not stop everything a little :( but whatever... there's nothing I can do  I have had personal achievements, like learning to cook many things, learning about nutrition, growing my own food and taking care of it and also  enjoying reading again and above all I have learned to know and understand myself, those have been my small  achievements for th...

Hi everyone, I don't have a favorite author because in general I like many authors and they are of differents types, like Pedro Lemebel, J.K Rowling, Gabriel García Márquez, Edgar Allan Poe and others, so it's difficult to choose one.  It's the same with books, I don't have a favourite but I can say that since I'm a little girl, I love all the Harry Potter books, I have them all and my favourite is "The Prisioner of Azkaban", the Harry Potter books have a special meaning for me, because thanks of them I started to like reading, and over time I began to read other types of books, for example horror by Edgar Allan Poe, he is a classic in the school reading and also I like García Márquez, I love his way of describing each situation and characters, I recommend it completely, specially "Crónica de una muerte anunciada" "Relato de un Náufrago" and "Noticia de un Secuestro"are very good books. The last book I read was "Subterra...

It's weird for me to talk about this semester, because,you know, of the pandemic and the quarantine...I honestly didn't like any subject at all, but the problem is not the teachers, the problem is the system and everything that is happening, is not normal, but any way, I have to choose a subject, and I think the one I dislike the least is History of the body of dance and Physical Conditioning. I like history of the body of dance because it has generated spaces of the reflection in the classes, we read differents texts, and watch documentaries and comment on that, although I don't talk much, I like to listen to my classmates, I like History in general, but obviously I would  prefer it to be face to face And I like physical Conditioning because we do yoga and although we've had two classes about it,it's something I'm interested in learning more this discipline later. I wish a had a bigger space to be able to practice it, and that the teacher would correct me mor...

When I was a little girl I made something like a buckest list because a saw a movie where a girl did that, so I copied it and on this list I remember writing things like "I want to go to Disney World" or about wanting a specific toy, etc. With  time I stopped writing about it but I was able to live some desires I had as a child, like going to Disney World with my family, I don't remember the details of the trip but I know I was happy at the time. Three years ago I started doing something similar again, because I felt it would help me achieve my personal wishes in life. One of the first things I wrote was about going to college to study dance,so I already have a wish ready. I have written few things because in general I like to be more spontaneous with the moments,just enjoying the moment, so I usually write long term things that I know requiere more effort, like going to live in another country, or paying a travel to my parents because they have given me everything...

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. ...
