The person that first came to mind for this assignment is Yann Trividic. He's a former Miami City Ballet principle dancer currently living in France as an Osteopath who loves surfing and occasionally plays the violin. To me, Yann is one of my favourite dance teachers, my Osteopath and an inspiration. He makes me want to be a better person and find personal satisfaction in whatever and everything I choose to do.
