Thank you for supporting me in this competition. Your donations and participation will benefit the Why Not You Foundation in their mission to fight poverty through education initiatives that empower youth to lead with a why not you attitude.
My greatest inspiration when dancing is being able to tell stories and transmit peace and freedom through dance. As well as being able to be a reference for future artists who every day fight to follow the goals of their hearts. Musical theater has been my best school, allowing me to dance ballet, jazz, tap, street jazz, urban and folkloric dances, popular and traditional from my country Colombia, such as salsa, merengue, reggaeton, cumbia, champeta, etc
I just had the opportunity to move to the country as a resident to follow my dreams as an artist. Being able to participate in this incredible project would represent the beginning of this dream in the city for me. Since I was a child I have dreamed of dancing and being part of this great entertainment industry and today it is a reality that I hope to make my lifestyle.
With this economic incentive I could pay the debts I acquired in order to move to the city and also invest in my education as an artist, taking dance, acting and acrobatics classes to continue building the best version of the artist I want to be.
