A portrait of mine of dancer Alicia Lafranchi was published in Swiss’ Coopzeitung.

Alicia is a dancer from Switzerland. A couple of years ago she followed her heart and left Switzerland to became a passionate Afro Latin Funk dancer in New York City.

Who are you? 

• Alicia: “When I was a child my favorite thing to do was to disguise my siblings and to perform. I am a Swiss globetrotter, enjoy exploring new places and people and my greatest love is dance. While this sounds like I have an extroverted personality, I am actually more an introvert.”

What do you love about NYC? 

• Alicia: “The city is a multi-cultural melting pot, no wonder there are endless possibilities.”

What inspires you and why?

• Alicia: “Mother nature inspires me. As well as people who found their mission, believe in what they do and just do it.”
