Hello people who read my blog!
Today I will talk about my preferred hobbie. Dancing

I started practicing dance from an early age, at 7, in a ballet workshop at school. At that time I did not have much elongation and I was not outstanding, so after two years I was bored of the workshop and I thought the teacher was too strict, so I left classes.
In 5th grade, I took modern dance curse in school, which was very demanding but not so strictest such as ballet, and although I was not the best dancer of the group I was 3 years striving there.
But it was in 2003 when I began dancing as a professional, when I entered to Valero dance studio. At first I took a few Jazz Style classes, but over the years I was getting excited more and more with dance and when I was in the 11th grade in school I had improved a lot and I was invited to be part of the Valero company, so I had to practice and rehearse almost every day.

To be a dancer you have to have:
- good elongation in your legs.
- good memory
- interpretation
- musicality
- good hips rotation
- fluid movements.

But in dance doesen't matter if you don't have the technique or skills, because dance is 99% effort and 1% talent.

I learned a lot, but the most important is that I realized that to achieve what you want, there is hard work to do and suffer if is necessary (it pained me a lot improve my elongation), I learned to be responsible, punctual and constant, because ballet teachers are very strict, I learned to respect my teachers and classmates, I made very good friends and learned to overcome the shame of ridicule.
I think all this helped me to be the person that i`m now, but specially to trust my self.

That all i hope you liked it!

Vacations !!!

Hi all
Today I will tell a little about my last vacation and what I would like to do in the coming.

Well, the holiday 2009 was incredible because I went to many new and interesting places .

First I went camping with my boyfriend to south of Chile to a beautiful place called "Seven Cups”, there I enjoyed the beautiful nature and landscape where one can visit a national park, where are the 7 waterfalls Clarillo River. Was a beautiful and educational experience because I learned a little more about of how to survive when you don’t have the amenities to which one is accustomed.

Then I went to a couple of beaches located on the central coast, Maitencillo and Guaylandia, the second going from a very young age so I reacquainted with many childhood friends

In February, I went with colleagues from the university to Florianópilis, Brazil. There we stayed at the house of a colleague who lived there before coming to study in Chile so we met his family and friends and she always had a plan and knew where to go and what we needed to know.
In Brazil, we traveled to Camboriu, a nearby town, and stayed there for 3 days, staying with friends of my companion. Was a great experience.
What I remember most of Brasil is the Carnival, and although not as big as the Rio Carnival is great fun because all men are on the street dressed as women (whether or not gays) to dance and have a excellent time.

In the summer of 2009 I spent a lot of money and I had incredible, I think it's very difficult to match so I don’t think out of chile in 2010, but there are many places in my country that I don’t know and I'd love to know such as Torres del Paine.
I am told that is a very beautiful place but I think it is expensive and don´t know where I could host.

Another place I'd like to know is San Pedro de Atacama because according to comments is a very mystical place.

I also like to return to the Elqui Valley, a place where I went when I was young so I could not appreciate the most.
I will probably go like every year to Guaylandia central coast beach, which is a delightful place where is a family atmosphere.

Well thats all, I hope year ends soon and that you like it.
Bye

transport

Hi!
Today I will talk about of the transport system that was implemented in January 2007 : The TRANSANTIAGO.

This new system divided our city into 10 zones, to order the operation of transport services that connect the neighborhoods of the city.
In each area there are feeder buses that connect with the metro and "troncal" buses which is moved throughout the city.

The system at its inception did not work properly because the frequency with buses passing was very inconsistent and you had to make multiple transfers.
Time passed, the transport ministry has tried to fix these problems, and covered others that have emerged, such as lack of travel in certain areas of the city. Despite the improvements, users are left with the impression from the beginning, and have continued to criticize the government.
I think this system is a long term project, because it involves a socialcultural change in the population, and people is not accustomed to this change, and don't understand that must spend time to make the project evolve.

Comparing the pre-transantiago system, with now, I think some changes have occurred:
- The flow of people in subways, has increased because people did not trust in the frequency of buses on the surface (still don't and that's why the subway is so stifling)
- The buses are slower, this is because they can't move with the doors open, increasing our security.
- Bip card system has made the public transport more expeditious and inexpensive, because you do not have to pay every time you step on a bus or subway.
- The system is safer, because drivers do not carry money, lowering delinquency.

I think Transantiago need to implement a GPS system to coordinate the frequency of buses, which is the problem still persists, thus one could know exactly what time the buses pass by your stop . I also believe it would be good to implement a few tours that were very useful in the system of "yellow buses", which were deleted.

Well that's all folks! I go to take the bus back to my house.

hi everyone !
Today I have to talk about what would be my ideal job.

I would love to be the physiotherapist of any dance company, to keep fit and retrieve their dancers.

To get this job I will have to be aware of prevention and recovery of typical dancers injuries, the movement they do every day for their training, and be prepared to travel with them to other regions or countries for their tours and art events .

I think I would be very good to do this work because I have lived in the flesh the injuries to be a dancer, I know every move they make, and every day I learn more about how to rehabilitate people.

I know that for this work (which is very rare in chile), I will have to be one of the best physiotherapists in the area, and establish relationships with companies before the end of my career, to be known as a therapist.

if I fail to find work in the area, I would like to work with athletes, because I like the fact rehabilitate people who are going to keep trying and trying, despite injuries, because they love what they do.

Well that's all my friends !
see you soon ..

the future

Today I should write about how I see myself in 5 years, but the truth is that lately I've been a little disoriented about this.
Last year the same thing happened to me, and that is why I think I failed some classes, and missed the year. Now I'm doing much better, but at this moment I can't see me as a physical therapist, recovering people, giving them confidence, if I did not even have the same.
I think this is happening because I come back taking dance classes. From 13 to 18 years I danced 4 times a week, but in the 12th grade in highschool I had to quit to prepare for the PSU, but I always wanted to be a dancer, and decided not to do so because art in Chile is not highly valued. Despite that, I enjoy dancing a lot and I fullfiled, and I would like to do it forever.

Out of the professionallife , within 5 years, I would like to live alone with my dog Kiara, in a house with a big yard for her to play, but I don't know if I'll have the money to lease or buy a house... it could be possible if all goes well, I will live with Sebastian, my boyfriend, and that would be cool because we get along well.

The only hope is to be happy with what I am doing, no matter how much money I earn, and have the support of my loved ones.
