ABOUT ME
I am a freelance dancer, choreographer and teacher based in Winterthur, Switzerland.
I am a hard-working, creative and versatile dancer and choreographer and very committed to connecting to the dance community and supporting the younger generations.
Being a freelance dancemaker is my passion and I love all the various aspects of it: performing, choreographing, teaching, building networks, organising dance events and supporting the local dance scene.
Also, I love coffee, memes and fun facts.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
DESCRIPTION OF CLASS
In my dance classes I focus on everyone feeling safe but pushing boundaries nonetheless. I like to do a good warm-up with a mixture of technique, strengthening, mobilisation and stretching exercises. Then I work on movement phrases, floorwork and short dance sequences. In more advanced classes I like to work with choreographic tools, too. My movement language is very flowy contrasted with isolations.
