When Dancing
Immersed in dance, Valeria taps into her sexuality, body, and dreams, craving human connection. Dance, for her, is not only an artistic expression but a means of self-discovery and healing. Each movement reveals an unexplored facet of her psyche, unlocking new layers of self-expression and feminine power.
When Not Dancing
When not dancing, Valeria relishes film, music, a good cocktail and a tasty pasta. She cherishes quality time with her husband, and the comfort of hugging her Weimaraner dog. A daydreamer, traveler, and continual student of dance, she unwinds with long, meditative baths and the anticipation of her next dance intensive.
