Some of the artist's interests
Bianca enjoys giving back to her community especially back home in Costa Rica where she developed and founded Proyecto DanSa with the goal of practicing dance as a vehicle of well-being and social sensibility/awareness. The collective of dance and health volunteers interact with underprivileged communities. The ages range from toddlers to senior citizens. Proyecto DanSa's involvement is also thanks to the support of FIMRC (Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children).
