About Me

My name is Ligia and I was actually born in Peru but I grew up in Whittier Ca. I went to La Serna High School and then to BYU for three years. I was studying Dance Education and then went home because I was too homesick. But now I'm back in school. This time to finish. Gotta pull through and finish what I've started. I am working towards an art minor also. Currently I work as a sub at 24 hour fitness as a dance, yoga/pilates, and aerobics instructor. I love teaching and choreographing. I was in the opening ceremonies for the 2002 Winter Paralympic Games and met some inspiring people. Stevie Wonder and some interesting athletes that can ski better with one leg than I can with two. Who am I kidding? I've never skiied in my life. Someday soon, I'll be working for Cirque du Soleil. Hey, I can dream can't I? I love my family. They're the best friends I've got so if you can't get along with them, then you probably won't like me very much either. I'm married to the sweetest man in the world. He's the best thing that ever happened to me and we have the sweetest little baby. Orion is my precious bundle of joy and I love both my boys very, very much. MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests

Dance for educational purposes, Cirque du Soleil, health, exercise, music, abstract and surreal art, poetry, good books, yoga, God and my family.

I'd like to meet:

People that challenge my way of thinking, my way of life and that can open their minds to be as recpetive about new ideas as I am. Try me.

Music:

I prefer New Age, Classical and Hip Hop/R&B, but I'm open to listening intently to different genres and I appreciate what they all can bring to the world of music (yes, even country). It's not my favorite and it can be hard to listen to, but it broadens my perspective in ways other music genres can't. They're all unique and bring something different to the world.

Movies:

I love to analyze and over-analyze and break them apart. I love movies. Some of my favorites are Life is Beautiful, Conspiracy Theory, Sneakers, Frida, Surviving Picasso, The Butterfly Effect, The Matrix, Under the Tuscan Sun, Amelie, What Dreams May Come, White Oleander, Pay It Forward, The Life of David Gale, Signs, The Village, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Closer, National Treasure, The Pursuit of Happyness and The Little Mermaid. The newest movie for me is THE SECRET. Everyone should see this.

Television:

Definitely So You Think You Can Dance, and sometimes American Idol. I like Property Ladder on TLC whenever I can watch it, Desperate Housewives, Lost, Amazing Race and the new Treasure Hunters. I really like The Discovery Channel and the news but usually I just watch movies.

Books:

The Bible, The Book of Mormon, Cold Mountain, Snow Falling on Cedars, Anthem, Brave New World, White Oleander, The Giver, Gathering Blue, and the Harry Potter Series.

Heroes:

Heavenly Father, Papito Jorge, my dad, my teachers, Gio, my family, Alex, Heather, Bobofat, Superman, Isadora Duncan, Doris Humphrey, Martha Graham, Pablo Picasso, Georgia O'Keefe, Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali, Michael Parkes, Chopin, Beethoven, BYU Cougarettes, the Paralympians of Winter 2002, and Cirque du Soleil.

Women of God vs. Women of the World
