Strike A Pose

Continued
Moyà or RimmaMatevosyan (30) is half Armenian, half Spanish and all about
power. “The show I give is full of passion, spectacle and power. That is me. I am
fire and that is what you see. Even if I feel sad or hurt I can express all of that in my
dance.” She started dancing at the age of 7 and did a lot of shows. She moved
around the world since she was 17 years old and has been traveling since. “I
am doing my passion for 13 years now. My message: no matter how many times
you return to a place, it is always different and renewing, you learn new stuff
and new experiences. I always go home with peace in mind ….. it is the culture
and warmth of the people that fulfills me.” She sees a lot of people that cannot
express themselves, but is happy to see that this changed in Aruba where people
lose up and are more acceptable nowadays. “I dream of being fully happy and
I live by the quote ‘live and let live.’”

Artist Rimma Matevosyan

Any DeeAnytime is a remarkable person.“I am an international
drag queen performer. Normally you do not ask a lady her age
so let’s keep it like that.” She offers different kind of performances
but for the Love Festival she presents three selected songs and
dances. “A mix of modern and what we used to hear like say
in the 80/90-ies, but with a different dance coating. I am very
energetic, I am a dancer, high kicks, slips, stumble, and splits all
happen during my high performance with as key word: energy.”
The art of dance is what means the world to Any Dee, which is
freedom and diversity, peace and one love. “Self-love comes
first. My message is: love yourself no matter what, if you are
different, use it and tell the world it’s okay.”
Can Any Dee Anytime be who she is at all times? “My last name
says Anytime, but in this world not yet. The LBGTQ community is still
fighting to be accepted. Some places in the world one cannot
be oneself unfortunately. Though that is my dream; to be happy,
Artist Any D Anytime free and express my art.”q
