Other Bits And Pieces:
Surviving the war in my country was a real challenge. I was an aspiring dancer, only 19 years old when the war started. Dancing, dreaming, believing, focusing on positive and living my life as if every minute was the last and as if nothing bad was happening around me is what have helped me sustain four years of terror....
Music plays a very important part of my dance world as well as life. Can't imagine the world without music...can you?

Sing for me my love
Sing me something soft
Play the tales of time and chance
Move my soul to dance
Nothing more is needed
Just warm me with your voice
Sing me that you'll always love me
Oh sing me something soft...
