If I understand correctly, your mother is a dancer. Could you elaborate on how her profession has influenced your fascination with body expression?

Yes, that is correct. I grew up with my mom practicing at home and I was often brought to practices and dance performances.

That being said, there are many other things in life that also have sparked an interest for body expression in me.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
