ABOUT ME
I am a freelance dancer, choreographer, co-director and teacher based in Winterthur, Switzerland.
I am a hard-working and creative 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 creating a space where people feel safe, enjoy moving and build up the courage to go to their limits and beyond in order to discover new possibilities. I do a n organic warm-up with a mixture of mobilisation, strengthening and stretching exercises. Then I work on technical elements, movement phrases and dance sequences. In more advanced classes I like to work with choreographic tools, too. My movement language is very flowy contrasted with isolations. I like to surprise myself with new directions and dynamics.
