Performing with Zils
"Every time I perform, I want the audience to expect the unexpected. Dance is about feeling the music, the beat, every sound resonating through your body...and presenting that feeling."

"Fusing music genres and dance styles has always been a passion of mine. The mixture of cultures, ideas, and sounds is a beautiful thing. One of my favorite acts I produced is {fire tango}- argentine tango dancing with fire breathing."
