Learn English

Well, this is the last post of this year and the last semester of English in my career.

I would like to know English in order to travel and have the possibility to talk with people from more countries and not depend on someone else. Also to understand the series without subtitles, understand songs, etc.

A few years ago, I traveled to Paris and England with two friends. In that minut I did not know anything about English and could not communicate with anyone, I had to depend all the time on them. I remember that some people tried to talk to me, but I did not understand them.

Something similar happened to me, when I recorded a commercial for a US company, the producers given us instructions and I had to ask the others to translate me everything they told us.
I would have liked to know English in those occasions to have been more independent.

Honestly, not much I learned in college, I think the teaching program is not good, I have never received a feedback to any homework, dissertation, test or blog. In the end what little I have learned is thanks to external people.

At this time I do not plan to continue studying English, but at the end of the career I would like to take a course, although I do not really know any good, I have not seen good results in people close to me.

I remember playing duolingo a year ago, and I learned so much words, so I think I will continue practicing with that game while I can not take a course

Dream is free

If I could change something of my career, would be the following:

I would shorten the curriculum, eliminating the basic cycle, because I will personally be 6 years in the university (counting the specialization), which seems to me exaggerated.

It would shorten the daily work load or distribute it in a better way, some students leave school too late, loosing the possibility of working or dedicate to personal projects.

I would add more elective classes, to give the possibility to the students to complement the career with different dance styles.

As for the infrastructure of the university, it would change many things. I would start changing the place of studies to a place that has more dance rooms, better bathrooms and showers, a garden with green areas, places of rest and a library with more access to books relacionated with dance, that's something basic.

As for the technology, it would have sound equipment in all the rooms dance, with their respective leads. I would install data show in the rooms, to facilitate the work of teachers. Would have a good Internet connection to facilited the work of students.

As for the methods, I think there is a line that I personally like, but I would insist on strengthening an education that looks at the abilities of each student with their individualities  to enhance the personal abilities.

Well, for this, the faculty need a lot of money, and like arts are not profitables, is dificult to get budget so, probably, everything this ideas will remain in my imagination.

Perú and Ecuador

I joy to tell you that this summer I'm going  to Ecuador with my boyfriend. We bought plane tickets to Lima, Peru, for later to board a bus along the coast, to reach Mancora, and then trip to Montañita, Guayaquil, Quito, Baños de Agua Santa and other places.

I am very excited for this trip, because traveling is wonderful. Know other places and cultures is always a very enriching experience for life. None of us knows these places or somebody who lives there, but in all trips you meet many people who are part of the thousands of adventures to remember.

In this minute, I'm working, giving ballet classes, selling brownies at the university and accepting different jobs to collect all the necessary money and be able to enjoy all the activities and places in the course of the trip.

We are still planning the trip itinerary, because we have just 15 days and we want to take advantage of every minute and place.

We would like to know the highest swing in the world that is in Baños de Agua Santa, also go to parties on the beach in Montañita, know the beach of Mancora, some jungle of Ecuador and enjoy the people and places that we get to know.

To save money, we will buy a small cooker to not spend too much on food, but anyway we will eat typical foods from each place. We do not know what kind of food we will find, but probably we will discover something new.

I am sure that we will have an amazing time, we will return with new experiences and more epectatives to continue knowing different cultures and people. We will return with desire to plan our next trip, because the travel experience is the best invertion.

Places of Chile

Hi bloggers, on this ocassion I will talk about places I have visited from my country.

In February 2013 I went to La Serena with my parents, brother and daughter. This vacation was very special, because it was the last time we could enjoy my daughter. They are part of the last memories that we have. Those days we could enjoy the beach, know the Valle del Elqui and Vicuña. Very beautiful places, which I will always remember.

Another place that I appreciate is Cahuil, very close to Pichilemu. Whenever I can escape from Santiago I go to that place. It is quiet, away from the daily life of this place, there are lots of nature, farm animals and beach. It's a small town that I always enjoy with my boyfriend. In that place, we can rest and it is part of us.

Dancing in the I.D.E.a dance company, we had a tour to the south of Chile, accompanied by the symphonic band of the Universidad de Chile. On this tour, we were able to get to know Osorno, Puerto Varas, Puerto Octay and its surroundings. These places fell in love me and I hope to return and to know all the wonders of the South.

A wonderful place that everyone should know is Huilo Huilo. It is a place full of nature and waterfall, is another of the wonders of the South of Chile.

I met this place thanks to the  I.D.E.a.dance company. We had a tour of Panguipulli and then Huilo Huilo. We stayed at the Nothofagus Hotel & Spa. That hotel is the most luxurious I have ever stayed in, with a heated pool and jacuzzi. The place was surrounded by wonderful trees, rivers and a lot of fairy tales.

Towards the other end of the country, I was able to know Arica. After traveling through Bolivia and Peru with my boyfriend, I traveled to Arica, to the house of my friend Ambar, who took us to know El Morro de Arica, places to eat and different parks. Me boyfriend ate every day in Rolly restaurant, is a famous resaurant of that city. We could also see an outdoor concert of Super Nova. It was very entertaining. It was summer and I remember it was very hot.

White Tiger

I love animals, and if I could choose to be any animal in the world, it would be very difficult to make a decision. There are so many beautiful animals and so much variety.

I want to be a white tiger, because it is one of the most beautiful animals that I have seen in the world, his fur is wonderful, and have great strength and physical power.

This tiger is a bengal tiger, but has a genetic mutation which suppresses the orange color and gives it his beautiful white color. Its size is huge, measuring three meters in length approx. and weigh between 180 and 285 kilos. This species is bigger than the orange bengal tigers but with his enormous strength, it can jumps more than seven meters of length and two of height.

They are powerful nocturnal hunters, able to travel many miles to find their food. At the time of hunting, they can reach a speed of up to 80 kilometers per hour. They are not as fast as other animals, but they are extremely cautious. They stare patiently and approach their victims with great stealth, enough to attack them with a quick and lethal leap. 

All these characteristics appeal to my attention, and for one day I want have the agility and strength to be able to move freely through a huge jungle, forest or savannah. I like the possibility of having lots of energy running all over my body.

Teach dance

Hi readers! 

When I finish my career I want continue study for be dance teacher in this moment I do not know where I would like to continue studying but I would like make class of dance to persons of all age and form my own dance academy. 

When I was in the "Conservatorio de danza Evelyn Cordero" I had the opportunity of be the ballet teacher in "Everest" school to girls between five and twelve years and I loved the experience! Also, the past semester I did class to physical conditioning in a neighbor's board for young people and was very entertaining.

In addition to study pedagogy I want take many dance class and thus to be able to teach more styles. Is important have many knowledge and pedagogical techniques to know how to transmit and them so that the students can understand and have a quality education

I have been teaching dance for five years, and my experience tells me that, although there are many systems and studies on pedagogy, the practice is the best way to get to know the students, since all students are different, all classes are adapted to the needs of the people.

For now I am giving particular ballet classes for girls and this makes that I fall in love with this job because I can teach with greater dedication the different techniques of dance and see the movements with more attention to correct my students. 

I really hope to be an excellent dancer and to continue improving my teaching and to train more artists to fill this world with more sensitized people.

I love the food

Hi

I like to cook, but, just when i have time to do it. For this, I usually listen music to entertaining me, and I simply improvise with the ingredients that I have in the kitchen.

Usually to "peck", I prepare homemade mayonnaise with garlic to eat it with pieces of bread with oregano or sticks of carrot and paprika. I also like to eat crackers with homemade mayo and add choritos or shrimp. At other times I like to prepare roasted mushrooms, stuffed with cheese and garlic.

Some basic dishes that I usually prepare are: Salad of quinoa or noodles, which carry chopped onion, tomato, paprika, garlic, chopped hard boiled egg, cilantro, sometimes carrot, salt, lemon and oil.

I also like to prepare gratinated potatoes with salmon, and pesto sauce. If i have not salmon, i use chicken with mustard. Other times, i prepare gnocchi with pesto sauce accompanied with beef.

 

Finally, my favorite part is dessert! Although my stomach is satisfied, there is always a place for desserts because they are delicious!. I like to eat roasted milk, it is delicious and it is very easy to prepare, only sugar, milk and eggs are needed. I also love the hotcakes stuffed with nutella and ice cream balls.

My dance academy

In the future, I would like work in my own dance company to be able to create many choreographies and keep dancing. The ideal would be to be able to travel through place of Chile and the world, but for this, the company, would need money. For this reason is necessary to create projects and support networks. This project is more complicate because it is difficult to come up with an independent dance company and manage to finance it and and it's still not something I've thought about so much.

In parallel I would like to create my own dance academy to train new dancers and artists and I'm sure I'm going to make it, because it's something I've been thinking since I was a very young girl.

In my academy I want to impart different styles of classes, with different teachers. The idea is to have a big space with three rooms to teach in parallel and have many students of different levels.

Whit this job I hope earn enough money to pay my expenses and be free of economic problems. I do not know how much money I could earn, but each class will have the necessary cost to finance the professionalism of each teacher considering also different economic situations of the students.


I really hope to create a space for dance in this world.

Adventures

My best holidays were in february of 2016 when i was to Bolivia and part of Perú. The travel lasted 15 days and started when me and my boyfriend took an airplane to Calama. In this place we met a couple the persons that they traveled with us, Fernado and Paula. After to Calama, we took a bus to Uyuni-Bolivia for meet the “Salar de Uyuni” and the train cementery. The next days we visits: La paz; Copacabana, Isla del sol (on this island we were 3 days, because it was beatiful). When we came back from Isla del Sol, we arrived en Copacabana and took a bus to Perú (It only took 25 minutes to get to Peru, we were very close). In Perú we met: Puno and Tacna. In Tacna we were 3 days because everything was very cheap, then we retorned to Chile. But before to trip to Take the airplane on Calama for returned to Santiago, we went to visit to my friend Ambar in Arica and we stayed with her 3 or 4 days.

These were my best vacations because we met a lot cultures and good persons. Backpacking is always a great adventure.

Dreaming holidays

I would like to travel through latinoamérica because it has beautiful places and varied culture. I want to know every wonder of these countries. This summer I want go to visit Perú and Ecuador with my boyfriend, for this reasons we have been collecting cash to take an airplane to Lima and climb for different beaches of Perú. The idea is know Lima, Mancora, Guayaquil, Montañita and other places. For this travel we have only 15 days, for this reasons we have to plan all the trip for enjoy every day. My boyfriend and I, are very exited with this trip because de last summer we travel to Bolivia and Perú and it was a beautifull experience and meet Ecuador could be great too. 

The only problem of this trip is that it is expensive and we have to collect more money than the last vacations, but anyway, we are thinking in backpacking (just like the last summer) and make the trip the most cheap possible.
