Maria Iu


Maria Iu

Maria spends, on an average day, half her time thinking about food, and the other half about dancing. To perform, she prefers ballet: going en pointe is a painful but satisfying experience. To watch, she likes contemporary dance and the artistic freedom that goes with it. She used to write dance reviews for musicOMH after seeing a particularly memorable production several years ago. Despite being a dance lover and a reporter in her day job, she had never considered writing about dance until then. She still tries to dance when she can, but her skill level remains woefully substandard, a fact that may or may not be related to her inability to say no to cake.
