He o\u00eddo que tienes un nuevo trabajo como core\u00f3grafa. \u00a1Felicidades!<br \/>\nPaula: S\u00ed, empec\u00e9 la semana pasada. \u00a1Me encanta! Bailar es mi pasi\u00f3n y que sea parte de mi vida diaria es maravilloso. No se siente como un trabajo.<br \/>\nJonathan: Tienes mucha suerte. Mi trabajo s\u00ed se siente como un trabajo. No elegir\u00eda hacer lo que hago todos los d\u00edas. Es una pena.<br \/>\nPaula: Que pena Jonathan. Soy la encargada de coreografiar todas las rutinas en nuestro estudio de baile. Hacemos espect\u00e1culos habituales en Madrid, en toda Espa\u00f1a y Europa y tengo mucho trabajo.<br \/>\nJonathan: Te lo mereces. Eras una bailarina incre\u00edble y es obvio que vives para bailar. \u00a1Tienes mucho ritmo!<br \/>\nPaula: Algunas de las rutinas son un reto para m\u00ed. Especialmente las de vals, tango, claqu\u00e9 y ballet. Tengo m\u00e1s experiencia con estilos de baile moderno como el hip hop y el jazz. Estoy aprendiendo muchos pasos de baile nuevos.<br \/>\nJonathan: \u00bfTambi\u00e9n eres la instructora de baile? \u00bfO simplemente la core\u00f3grafa?<br \/>\nPaula: Soy core\u00f3grafa principalmente. Aunque tambi\u00e9n doy clases.<br \/>\nJonathan: \u00bfCu\u00e1ntos bailarines hay en tu estudio?<br \/>\nPaula: Casi cien.<br \/>\nJonathan: \u00bfVais a hacer alg\u00fan show pronto en Madrid?<br \/>\nPaula: S\u00ed, hay uno la semana que viene. \u00bfQuieres una entrada? \u00a1El vestuario y la escenograf\u00eda son incre\u00edbles!<br \/>\nJonathan: Suena muy bien, gracias. \u00bfCu\u00e1nto cuesta?<br \/>\nPaula: No te preocupes, te puedo conseguir una entrada gratis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, how did you get on?
