Hollywood here I come!!!!



I can´t stop smilling and jumping around....i just got accepted to the Independent Artist Program at the Musician´s Institute in L.A. starting Oct. 2011..... it´s a 6 month Program where you learn everything to become an Independent Artist. I can´t wait....Hollywood here I come!

New articles at Pressan

I´ve been really busy working at NordicaSpa in the reception as well as teaching Zumba at NordicaSpa, Reykjanesbær and then to groups/companies but i managed to write a couples of articles, including a gratitude article (listing all the things we can be grateful for) and then the most recent one regarding bullying. There has been an anti-bullying discussion lately and i thought it was time to share my story, since i was bullied as a kid and it took me a long time to recover.  We can all treat each other better.

as the status on facebook goes:

"The Girl you just called fat? She has been starving herself & has lost over 30lbs. The Boy you just called stupid? He has a learning disability & studies over 4hrs a night. The Girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The Boy you just tripped? He is abused enough at home.There's a lot more to people than you think. Put this as your status if you're against bullying"

Zumba show!

We were asked to show Zumba during a health conference that was held at Hotel Saga. It was perfect timing, the people had just listened to a lecture so they were ready for some entertainment. We danced two dances and then we asked everybody to join us for WAKA WAKA. Everybody went to the floor....it was great. The atmosphere was spectacular and they had a blast.
I love doing shows....its so much fun!

I want to thank Sigrún, Ásdís, Eygló, Sigríður, Barbara and Helgi for joining me....they were a great team, of all ages, that jumped in to help at the last second and did an amazing job. THANK YOU!
