For me dance represents a deep personal journey and a shared experience at the same time. It's an ongoing exploration of my identity, a delicate dance with my own soul. I believe that being a dancer Is like being part of a secret, sacred language that only my body understands. It's an intimate conversation with myself In which each step and gesture feels like a revelation, peeling back layers of who I am and revealing pieces of my inner landscape that words cannot touch most of the time. I believe that being a dancer means also being brave, since you will constantly confront yourself with your deepest insecurities and fears, but I see this as a possibility that life gave to me in order to grow as a dancer, but mostly as human being.

Nice to know about Gaia:
“Since dance became my profession and not just a hobby, sometimes I find it a bit tricky to find other hobbies besides dance. However, I always loved to observe people and their human body language, trying to understand what their intentions are and what they communicate with the outside world.
I love to connect with people and I am realising more and more how enriching and essential it Is for me to surround myself with human beings that are sensible and have a positive vision of life.
I am also really fascinated by every other kind of art and I love to play with my creativity.
I have always been fascinated by languages and learning how to verbally communicate with people of different cultures. This always pushed me to increase my curiosity and knowledges.”
