My Auto Biography

Hi, my name is Manuela Parraguez. I was born in Santiago, Chile in october 20th of 1996.

I studied all my life in the same school, Liceo Experimental Manuel de Salas, in Ñuñoa. I've been living in Ñuñoa all of my life, with my parents and my two older brothers.

When I finished High School, I started to study contemporary dance in Universidad de Chile. Since I was a little girl I wanted to study dance in here, because my relation with contemporary dance started when I was 7 years old, in School. When I was 10 years old I started to take classes of ballet and tap in an academy, at 12 years old I entered to Escuela de Ballet del Teatro Municipal de Santiago, and I was there for 2 years, after that I decided to study dance in Universidad de Chile because I love contemporary dance, however I continued studying ballet, with the same teacher that I had in Teatro Municipal, until today.

I don't have much hobbies because most of my time I dance, and when I was in high school the 'Hobbytime' was to take dance classes. But I like to travel a lot, and I've been lucky because I've been in other countries like Germany, Ecuador, Argentina, Italy, France, Cuba, United States and Czech Republic.

I love giraffes, horses and cats. The name of my first cat was Agata, then I had another, Frida, and now I have a little cat that have 3 months and its name is Philippina, or Pina like the famous dancer Pina Bausch.
