I am here for Friends

About Me

I live in Monza , Italy. Originally from San pedro, California. I am happily married, with a beautiful 1 year old son. I am a Pro. Dancer/Teacher/Performer. I was very lucky to travel around the world and perform with a Dance company called "Salsa Brava". My dream come true. Which is what brought me to Italy. Came to do a tour in 2002, for a year, and met the man of my dreams. Now I am just trying to get by in a foreign country. I speak Italian, but not great. They dont get my humor, or maybe they dont think I'm as funny as I think, I am. Living here, has really taught me about patience. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=670C3330ECADDB99 SALSABRAVA

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet some people who can share the passion of music with me, and let me know of what I am missing. Italy is not the place for music....It doesnt interest me to know where you live, or how much money you have, how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for your dream, for love, for the adventure of being alive!!! SALSABRAVA
