everything sounds as if I was born with
all the ingredients ready to
dancing would have given me the recipe and the
path would have magically opened
It was not like that and the dance has
given everything but I have given my life
so we were converting little to
little more strength than you want to
part of her in the best friends
lovers and life partners for the
Nazi universe destined not to walk achieve
become a professional dancer and
also helps patients with Parkinson’s disease
dance
This is my story when I was born
I was born with many physical problems in
my legs and feet career
three quarters of the head of the
Femur did not exist on my knees
was what is known as balbás or
affectionate
my foot was not only flat but
it did not have a longitudinal arch or arch
medial
besides that I fasten fascia lata that
is the one that helps hold up no
it worked
I was destined to be in a chair
of wheels no later than five
years of age if my condition does not
improved before two years of age
I already spoke
Imagine my poor family and I will
I said I want to be a dancer when you were
child, it never occurs to you to think that for
dance
You need to be able to walk after two months
old
my mom took me to an orthopaedist and
traumatologist I did exercises that
will help strengthen my legs
use devices that will support and
opening the hip and some hoses that
run from the waist to the feet
that children use with polio to
hold on
while all this chaos happened in my
life I kept saying to myself I want
be a dancer one day the doctor told him
to my mom
sra bring ballet lessons to her daughter
to see if that helps improve their
Piernitas was born in Guadalajara in a
very conservative and catholic family
so I asked my mom that
please take me to the temple to give thanks
because at last my dream would be reality
I considered that the happiest day of
my life because I said finally I will be
dancer clear what I do not expect what
what would come next
once entering the academies
ballet professionals my teachers do not
They were aware of all my problems
nor physical limitations
so you always told me you do not
you serve to dance your legs are
very wide you do not have strength in the feet
to stand at the tips you have where
go
that is, people normally
we walk with our feet facing the front
in parallel the fences are like this
open like ducks and I was almost
completely rotated inward that you
Say that at 78 years old and I’ll tell you
continue saying for many years
more for a girl is something very very
I knew about my ballet classes
and mom was asking me how was it
My daughter and I said very well mommy but
actually I was going to my bedroom
shut myself up to cry but I could not
tell the truth to my mom because
then I was going to get out of the ballet and I
I wanted to be a dancer
however all this faith and strength that
my family instilled me has always been
I presented
so I thought and I have two
arms I have two legs because they tell me
I can not dance
I repeat when you are a child you never know
it happens to think that to dance you need
be able to walk when you innocent month
objective is praiseworthy you have an idea
you start to imagine it to build it and
you see yourself
every day and every night
dancing beautifully as the best
the ballet flour of the world then to
despite my young age
I made the firm decision that I and
appreciate that it did not matter how long
it will not take or have to work
very much more than my companions
I would always kick it and I would achieve my
objectives
so I do not agree to attend
a daily class but I got into
more ballet classes from other levels
to work triple or quadruple
That the others
finally he managed to record me with honors
not only as a professional dancer but
also as a teacher in beautiful art
of dance comes a watershed to me
life I moved to mexico df
I will continue with my dream and continue
looking for more things than from me
perspective have to do with dance
Some years ago I detected my
mom parkinson’s disease
my sister calls me to give me the
news and when I come from family so
Conservative as expected
go back to guadalajara
come and take care of your mom and even though it’s going to sound
well selfish I did not want to go back
it had cost me so much effort
I had overcome so many obstacles but
On the other hand my mom has given me
all
without her I would not be what I am
so I thought by law to give more mica
simple that exists if I help people
with parkinson
here in the city of mexico to someone
in guadalajara to help my mom
so based on all my
knowledge of dance anatomy
illusionism the movement of
dolphins the ideology of other cultures
through language learning
foreigners create a method of
Special therapy for patients
share his I have it treats as such already
existed for a long time in several
countries but the special tangotherapy
for patients with parkinson not
what I created is based on my
life experience is nothing more
do the steps of tango and if for
someone who is good and healthy to dance
tango is already a challenge because you have to
coordinate the movements of your body
with music keep the posture of and
upright control your balance
empathize with the couple you ‘re
Dancing is very easy for men
for example feeling ridiculous when
they do not dance well they need someone who
help them to cross precipice that they
convey the confidence that they can
do what the secreillos of
the first steps is tangotherapy is
a self-created creation supported motivated
created and substantiated by two things
all my experience and life testimony
and the motivation to understand my mom
it’s not a conventional method it’s not a
copy so it’s totally unique in
their gender and in their motivation
creation in it the patients of
parkinson learn exercises
propaedeutics before giving the first
step with my method are mentally strengthened
emotionally and physically through
history of tango are recognized to them
of the tragedy in which they live and
the greatness to which they can aspire
they do extra drawing exercises
calligraphy exercises of different
with my method have been given
that can help overcome
complications why because if he
it is very difficult to dance for the
people who do not have Parkinson’s imagine
for those who do where they have to dance
together the one that is shaking with the one
It is very rigid that is very
weak with which it does not stop swinging
unwittingly
my method helps them create a
connection and harmony to overcome these
discomforts and do not only that dance
but enjoy it and transmit that
feeling because finally the dance
it’s for that
dance is to say with the body what
who had kaka there
my method teaches again
feel gotten excited to live
with a new challenge that they did not have before
of parkinson’s and now they’re doing it
they are dancing tango and all the magic
That this entails
I do not have Parkinson’s but incarnate
own what it feels like your body
betray that it is at the same time your
best friend and your worst enemy who does not
You can control your movements and
there is a continuous social rejection and
work for not being able to control your body
after it was present method believe
to the Mexican parkinson association
in the first class that I gave them
I told my case and I told them you are going to
Tango dance saw me with a face
You are crazy I told them if I’m crazy
but grab me case and they will achieve it and
those who paid attention to me began
with me and have followed my methodology
they are doing unimaginable things
the fact of doing something so
difficult as it is to dance tango
It requires what takes away the parkinson
balance psychomotor coordination
strength is for them a sensation
indescribable because beyond its
disease that they did not choose and had
the fault but they have realized that my
method helps us move forward that
It is not the end of a world full of
possibilities is opening the doors
towards the universe of greatness towards the
universe of dance and because the tango
because tango is more than a dance a
spell a spell goes beyond the
technique goes beyond the steps is
create a communion with the couple that
you are dancing at that moment and being
Parkinson’s disease is so cruel
that creates so much insulation
the fact of meeting another being
human who is going through the same thing
you who hold hands make a
embrace of tango and dance to the rhythm of
bandoneón you do not feel that you are
embracing another person is only
embracing tango is sheltering with
your dance comforting you of misery in
the one you find yourself in a few words
is embracing life again to me
the dance has given me the best life that I
I can give
so if I a girl destined to
everything except to dance I succeeded and I follow
doing demonstrating day to day that
life consists of determination and
strength that you have to overcome each
obstacle that presents itself to you
dance
first you dance with your soul and then with
the feet
first with the feeling and then with
the steps because to dance
you do not need to be able to walk
it needs to be done many
Thank you
[Applause]
