I just turned 25 when I cut the ties with my family and culture and move away from the island of Sardinia to the island of Manhattan, becoming in just a few years a successful dancer in the city. Life offered me amazing opportunities to shine and besides dancing on the broadway production of West Side Story, or touring with Latoya Jackson, I had many incredible experiences with a lot of companies and projects, I was versatile, technical, extra expressive and creative. From the beginning of my carrier I also taught and choreographed, I soon was hired by some the most renowned dance studios in NYC to teach my own idiosyncratic dance classes. I was very successful so that I found my own dance company and began setting my own productions. Every thing was fantastic, until in a few minutes all that ended.

I was only 28 when I was forced to a stop by a non-so-common form of lymphatic cancer that made a definite stop on my dance dream. after that, i was left with no dancing body, no work, no money, no energy, no place to be in life e saddest of all i had no self-love left.
My movement, restricted by the physical pain, became minimal and introverted, i could not dance anymore. I could only remember the sensation from inside. The sensation of dancing. So, slowly and tiny I began translating my emotions into minimalistic movement allowing me to release them, not like a dancer, but as a person. Relearning how to move became my focal point. understand movement as a self expression and was soothing to the physical and emotional pain, it allowed me to understand that I could initiate self-healing, The dance of my emotions appeared. I began to allow my inner inner narrative to express through movement, and that helped me in the process of healing. It became my new skill.

Since the event of cancer, i learned to really give priority to what is really important in life. Movement, self healing, sexuality, art & nature are the areas where I have in the past 28 years put major investment of time, resources and passion in order to re-create a life that is more and more integrated with my true self.
