I am not a professional dancer, but I have been doing ballet from age 8 to 16 (when I got other interests, like boys and partying), back to jazz ballet in my early twenties. But I don't like 'pretty' movements, I really like the choreography we're doing right now. 

I've also been studying/working as a mime for about a year, also in my early twenties (and that's a long time ago). There definetely is a relationship between contemporary dance and mime, but I like contemporary dance even better. You don't have to tell the whole story, but you work more with images and feelings, there is more soul quality to it. I love it! But getting the whole show ready to perform in less than two weeks, is hard work.
