Biography and CV

Main
 
I was born in the Csík valley of the Transylvanian Carpats in Romania. My first nine years I lived in a small hungarian community with wireless culture still alive. Then me and my family moved to Sweden. In Csík I often dreamt about walking behind the mountains to see what it would be like on the other side. For my family Sweden was the dream of heavenly freedom. I did not feel free in Sweden and Sweden is a gateway to freedom for me. A few years ago when I moved to Iceland I began to learn that freedom happens in my mind. Freedom is changing movement with awareness. The most powerful way for me to be free is through dance.
