ABOUT MY WORK

My aim is to pass on the experiences which I have gained over the years as a teacher and in my career as a professional soloist.

My ballet training was purely classical and I was fortunate enough to be able to work with many contemporary choreographers and to explore the modern repertoire. And this is why I can draw on my own experience, knowing how important it is today to have an education covering ballet and modern dance as well as improvisation.

From the educational point of view, I find it particularly exciting to work with students whose training includes modern dance, ballet and improvisation, from the very start, in equal measure.
