I have lived my life at the intersection of two languages: medicine and dance. I trained as a physician and began my career in emergency medicine in Colombia, then spent more than two decades in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries in France and the USA. Lately, I led global medical affairs strategies for advanced Parkinson's disease therapies, working on the science behind movement disorders. And through all of it, I never stopped dancing. Dance was never a hobby beside my career; it was the other half of me and how I understood the body.

​

Then I became the patient. Two major surgeries took me to the other side of the white coat, and I learned what it feels losing ownership of your own movement  and what it means, slowly, rhythm by rhythm, taking it back. Recovery convinced me even further that movement is not just function, movement is identity, memory, joy, and connection. Dancing is a movement language to build physical and emotional strength. Dance is therapeutic! 

​

ALTIEMPO is where all of these converge. It is a dance-movement experience built on the rhythms of the world designed so that anyone, at any fitness level, can explore new movements and find their way into their body rhythm. The name means  "at the same time" and that is the promise: not performance, not perfection, but the simple, powerful act of moving in time with the music, with others, and with yourself.

Welcome to ALTIEMPO!
