Paris

I have had a dream to move to Paris one day, but never knew when. Well, now I do. I have a flight booked, this amazing city calls me in the end of August ('11).

I've visited Paris 3 times in my life. It's such a beautiful, lively and romantic city. Dance culture is very high - I am able to attend classes of the best hip hop instructors in the world as well as join a real burlesque cabaret, if I like. It's the city to explore, to live and to dance.

While I'm waiting and travelling around Europe still a bit, I enjoy eg. the amazing Eartha Kitt and shows made for her songs:



Getting ready for Paris..

Beautiful SDK

Famous Street Dance Kemp Europe 2011 was organized again. Here some talented piece of dance art:

Studio Feeling

Big A

This is some Attitude I look up to!



Plus the dancing, like it.

Beautiful - Sure Thing

behind the ART

I've seen so many places and people different from each other, I already feel much richer inside to start creating the art of dance. Taking your experiences and feeling the music flow around you.. that's something to try looking for!



SPR FKR - art found in L.A.



Views that take your breath away..



.. and the moments of fear and excitement ..



.. will create something impossible (like a contemporary battle).



Jump..



.. jump ..



.. save it to your memory..



.. and start improvising!

So, I'm staying now in Hollywood, and taking dance classes at Debbie Reynold's in North Hollywood. Metro is the way to go, takes straight to the studios.



I've already taken few classes before, but tonight's hip hop with Derrell Bullock killed! Man was a bit out of this page, but that made the class. Thank you so much D!



And this is just a random shot from Debbie's..

Vegas and San Fran

This dancer girl got bored with life in Finland, took the first plane and left for a world around trip. In Vegas I met The Coolest Qna&Najea from L.A. and in San Fran jumped quite high near The Golden Gate.





Cheers! Next stop, the real dance mecca - LOS ANGELES!

Ciao! It's me, Satu - former ballroom and latin, present hip hop dancer from Finland. I've been writing a blog of my travels around the world for a while now, but I think it's finally time to focus more also on the subject I love the most - DANCE.

What would be any better way to start this blogging than an inspirational show? Here's some S**t Kingz in Japan Urban Showcase people:
