Experience
Dance Teacher
21 years ago, just after I graduated at the college of contemporary dance, I started my first dance school. In the beginning, I was teaching kids between 3-6 years old, because I was inspired by my 2 year old child. One year after, I expanded my teaching to young people and adults. Working with grown-ups made me become aware of how many injuries and ailments people over 50 have .
Innovator
Just after I moved to Spain and learnt some Spanish, inspired with my previous experience of working with grown-ups, I decided to create a dance/exercise method for injured people, with a help of doctors and physiotherapists. That is how the Bakotic method was born. First classes of the Bakotic method took place in March of 2005 in Spanish city of Vigo. Bakotic was formally registered as an intellectual patent in Spain, on the 2nd of May 2006., by the Division of Sports and Culture of the Galician Regional Administration under the serial number VG106-06.
Choreographer and Lecturer
I started choreographing when I was 9 and, ever since then, it has been one of my biggest passions. As a choreographer, I have taken place at several local and national festivals, TV shows and competitions. I also worked as a main coordinator of the stage movement in the theater play 'Ezopeja'. During all my career, I have given many workshops, courses and talks on the topics of dance, health and motivation; and I also educated and mentored 10 amazing teachers of Bakotic method.
Dancer
I started ballet when I was 4 but I have always been open to different dance styles and techniques which lead me to learning modern and contemporary dance, ballroom dance, rumba, jive, salsa, merengue, bachata, kizomba, hip-hop, breakdance, belly dance, bharatanatyam and folk. It was contemporary dance that appealed to me the most and, ultimately, I graduated at the prestigious contemporary dance college 'Ana Maletic'. However, having the most of my focus on teaching didn't allow me to develop my dance career, but I did perform on TV shows, and different dance and music festivals. When I was 34, my dance students motivated me to present myself as a contemporary dance soloist on a dance competition. With my own choreography called 'Experience' I won second place at national finals and sixth place at the world finals.
Compassionate and Creative
I believe my spiritual growth started when I was 10, with Michael Jackson's song 'Man in the mirror'. I took that song very seriously and it helped me become aware, as very young person, of a connection between all beings and of our personal responsibility toward creating a better world. That's why, that same year, I organized and was leading 'Planet Guardians', a group of children whose tasks were reminding people from the neighborhood not to throw trash on the street.
I never stopped putting effort into my personal growth. That is why I decided to get initiated into Reiki, learn about Silva method, follow Sri Chinmoy's teachings about meditation, make spiritual journeys such as 'A Course in Miracles' and 'The Presence Process', learn from Eckhart Tolle, Miguel Ruiz, Esther Hicks, Vadim Zeland, Joe Dispenza and many more...
Seven years ago, I have created Anaimir, the 'angel' who wrote and published a book about happiness and who helps people to become more happy with its free messages.
7 years ago, I became vegan, because I don't want a support animal suffering anymore.
