Individual, couple or group service.​

These workshops aim to learn or simply practice steps, in a relaxed atmosphere and in a safe space. Relaxation is promoted with guided breathing exercises.

Concept art:

​The cumbia-relajación workshop is a concept that pays homage to ancestral rhythms linked to the Earth and to heartbeats. One of these rhythms is the "tresillo", which is found in several popular dances in Abya Yala / Anahuac / Tawantinsuyo such as cumbia, bachata,bullengue, reggaeton*, etc. This rhythm is also present in millennial cultures around the world.

The steps have similarities to movements in Tai-chi or Qi-gong, and have the potential to bring health benefits. It is an approach that has the potential to connect the moving body with the mind.

Socially, a circle dance can help release any inhibitions. The workshop aims to encourage safe spaces where we can dance alone, or in groups.

*important note. I promote songs whose lyrics are neither sexist nor misogynistic.

I offer Spanish conversation workshops, tailored to your needs.

With around ten years of experience, I enjoy supporting people, whether in individual sessions or in small groups, who wish to improve their communication in Spanish, particularly for trips to Spanish-speaking countries.

Most of my clients share similar interests: artists, scientists, social workers, students, activists, and advocates. This generally makes learning enjoyable and enriching.

I also have 8 years of experience assisting teachers in pedagogy, science and sociology with the translation of academic texts and articles from English and French into Spanish.

What I offer you:
- Personalized conversation dialogues, centered on real travel situations.
- Developing conversation topics based on your interests and the places you want to visit.
- Assistance in creating vocabulary sheets adapted to your needs.
- A non-directive and creative approach, aimed at maintaining your interest and facilitating your learning. I offer personalized scenarios and role-plays, based on real-life conversations.
- Historical and cultural references to enrich your knowledge.

For your information, I have also worked as a private tour guide in Mexico, specializing in archaeological sites and the ancestral knowledge of the First Nations, particularly in the south-central region of the country, which has a great ancestral cultural and culinary diversity. For example, the Cd de México route, Puebla, Oaxaca

Meeting places:
I can meet you near the Joliette metro station, or come to your home or a café, depending on your preference.

Would you be interested in a first session?

The acrobatic rock variant that I teach makes it possible to "shine" both in salon, as in ball, gala or events of any kind. : -)

The version I teach comes a little bit out of the "leader/leader" frame, but I prefer to give a course to a woman, or to one, or several duo of apprentice dancer.

No prerequisites are necessary, the goal is to have a good time and learn.
The first course will cover basic steps, as well as other more "impressive" ones, depending on the level of/students. Progress is visible from the first session, even for beginners.

I taught mostly in schools, for galas, shows, rallies, balls, associative events.
