Hello!
My name is Emily Pietruszka. I am a recent graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder, located in Colorado, U.S.A. I hold a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Dance. I am a dance artist, skiier, music lover, adventure seeker, and I love dogs. I am entering a transitional period of my life, and I cannot wait to begin expanding my horizons outside of Boulder, CO.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in creating communication networks with people who are of similar age and have similar artistic interests. I am interested in enriching my experiences abroad while also navigating the planet in search of dance career opportunities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Yesterday I accidentally jumped off a small cliff while skiing and didn't hurt myself...badly.

Also, to fulfill my requirements for my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree I choreographed, directed, and marketed my own 20 minute dance work in conjunction with writing a thirty page honors thesis. I also did the costume design, film direction, projection design, set design, and music design for the work.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am excited to share what I can with the world as a dance artist, and in general as a human being on this little earth. I am a strong believer in community as a means of finding purpose and creating a better earth for each other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Dance and movement practices across multiple genres,
Enthusiasm for new experiences,
An extremely collaborative spirit
