I dance what I am

With Malas Compañías, I enquire about things that raise curiosity in me in order to create danced and told pieces of art. I encode my creation keys in spaces that are no meant to be considered as scenarios and the particularities of each body. I am convinced that dancing inhabites the spirit.

I have danced in American and Eurpean countries. I wide my paths to reach the entire world, like someone that enjoys walking without a pause.
