Hi! My name is Marie, I'm 38 years old and I live in Brittany, France. I'm a dancer, choreographer, dance passage and clubber. I'm looking for anything that grooves and makes people groove. Music is omni present in my life. And through my profession, I sometimes bring thousands of people to groove together in the street. I travel to meet people, their culture, their stories. I think I'm open, positive, committed, sometimes funny - I love to laugh -, passionate, generous, curious, greedy, dreamy, spiritual, creative, increasingly responsible and thoughtful. I can be both instinctive and cerebral. I have my feet on the ground, my head in the stars, and my spine dancing. I can't stand racism, sexism, homophobia, ego-centrism and violence. I think that traveling leads us to grow and evolve, as long as we travel "well": for the "right" reasons and in "good manners". Travelling allows me little by little to better understand today's world and imposes on me humility, trust and awareness. Travelling far from France leads me, for example, to see the history of France differently, and to what extent the country where we grew up conditions things in us, without being irreversible, because we can cultivate what we become. Travelling leads me to feel at home above all in myself, and a stranger everywhere, although linked to every living being. Travelling leads me to position myself as a citizen of the world. When I travel I feel like a guest in a space that is not mine and I try to be as much as possible attentive to this space and to those who live there. Also, I like when people are in the sharing and exchange, because of course I share my experience, my know-how and my questions with pleasure also, at the time of a dance, around a drink and/or a meal, around a game, or in front of the sea. my philosophy...? "Let the good times roll" as they say in New Orleans... I live alone in a small appartement close to the river and at 15 minutes of the center by bus. I have a bed sofa in the living room where it s possible to sleep.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
Because couchsurfing makes sense in my way of travelling, and it allows me to travel more humanly, ecologically and economically. It is also a good way to immerse oneself in the culture of the country or the city.
Musique, films et livres
so much... Marvin Gaye's Inner city blues and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band's version. A change is gonna come from Sam Cook The funk music (James Brown and the JB's, Georges Clinton, Sly and the family stone...) Afro-Cuban music, New Orleans brass bands, Hip-Hop mellow and conscious, blues, rhythm n blues, soul, traditional African music in general... books "Like extinct stars" "Small country" "Amkoulel Fulani child" "Hurricane" and "the death of King Tsongor" "L Alchemist" comics in general Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
The one I have been living since winter 2018: a video and sound collection project of dances and stories that I lead between (for the moment) Cuba, Senegal and New Orleans. There is also the Acogny (dance) technique training that I had the chance to participate in the summer of 2018, at the Ecole des Sables, in Toubab Dialaw, Senegal, with about thirty dancers from all over the world.
Enseigner, apprendre, partager
I dance as I breathe... and the dance is shared ;) the recipe and the preparation of the "galettes bretonnes"? I like to learn, all kinds of things and share moments of celebration, dance, experiences, know-how, ideas, questioning, discussions, discoveries...
Ce que je peux offrir à mes hôtes
great time a tea and a ti ponch exchanges and discussions of discoveries good food board games
