New York Dancer

I cannot believe I’ve been here 3 weeks already. It’s all happening so fast and It’s been amazing so far. Omg the school is awesome, I’m dancing with great people and I’m just loving New York. I’ve missed it here! My plan all along were to start this blog, however so far I’ve had so much to do that it’s been impossible for me to find the time to sit down and actually write, but now that I’ve found my home away from home, I’ll start doing this a lot more. I have so much on my mind and so many great things to write about this experience. But one thing at a time.

After travelling as much as I have, I didn’t panic when my accomodation for the first few weeks, forgot to tell me that I couldn’t stay with them until Sunday ( I arrived Saturday), because they’d be out of town. I thought I’d be fine. My plan was to find a cheap hostel/b’n’b for the night when I arrived at JFK. Long story short, after 4 hours at JFK and the only available room being almost 200 dollars, I decided to just sleep at the airport. I put my suitcase in a corner, rolled out my yoga mat on the floor and used my backpack as a pillow. The next morning around 6 am I packed up my stuff and got the train into the city. I couldn’t help myself though, ended up going to Peridance to take my first Limon class ( with all of my luggage) and then, I went to my temporary home in Harlem.

I’ve been moving around the city though, as my first accomodation suddenly couldn’t house me more than a week. Luckily for me my old area manager recently moved to NY and offered me her sofabed for a few weeks while she was busy elsewhere. And finally, after 3 weeks being crazy busy and spending hours every single day looking for a place, I’ve found my new room, in Woodside, Queens.

I am fortunate enough to have been accepted into the Limon School in New York, which is a unique Professional Studies Program for dancers (started Sep. 16th - May ’14) . The program lasts 9 months and I get

Dear friends

I need your help.

If I may ask each and every one of you, just to spend a few moments to read read my little prayer♥

I’m now in New York studying dance and only have very short time to find enough money to get my full visa so that I can complete the Limon program (help!!).

I accept everything I can get, whether it is the price of a piece of gum, a pint of milk or one month’s rent, every little bit helps. If I don't reach my goal I will not get anything and I will have to leave New York in December.

If you also would share my project with your friends, it would be absolutely amazing. …

Thank you for your support,
